It's going to take time for Lian to adjust to the smaller ice surface in North America. He has much less time and space to make decisions with the puck on his stick / identifying options / moving the play up ice from his zone via an outlet or with his legs.
Big body - leans 2-way/Match-up 'D' - doesn't back down from a physical challenge - long reach and range pushed opponents to the perimeter - gaps up very aggressively in the neutral zone / killing zone entries
More to give offensively - better than average puck touch - fantastic skater for stature
