Sure. But he was projected as a first because he put up 53-points in 69-games in 11/12 but he saw that drop to 39-points in 72-games in his draft year. If he can get back on track offensively he will be a value prospect for a 5-round pick.
But yes, he needs to get stronger and better defensively if he wants to succeed in the AHL and NHL.
