For the most part, I liked what I saw from Kyrou. He DID get knocked off the puck by bigger, heavier, and stronger veterans a few times, but, he also gave indications that he's not going to be just a one-dimensional scorer, not willing to play a well-rounded game. No question that Kyrou needs to gain strength, bulk and experience in staying on the puck against heavier and stronger players, fending off defenders, forechecking,backchecking, general playing without the puck, and everything else young scoring forwards have to learn. But, he's already along the way in some of those areas, and has shown that he's an eager learner, and he is not lazy. He looked good several times in his own end, fighting for the puck, coming to his teammates' aid, and covering for them when they got caught, not able to continue covering their men. He also fended off defenders on a couple drives to the net. He's a willing student, and not lazy. That's all a good sign.
