But he is keeping up with Barzal in terms of scoring so that says something. Guy will be a 1st round pick for sure.
Frankly the 2015 draft is similar to the 2003 draft that you'll find impact players all the way through the 1st and even 2nd rounds. However unlike the 2003 it actually has franchise players at the top, and possibly two generational talents.

I would say that Staal (with the exception of this year) and Getzlaf turned out to be franchise players.
I am fine with Eichel or McDavid. I do not see any likely way that the Flames are not picking top three next year as well which is fine by me. If they pull out Ekblad and Eichel or McDavid they will be in great shape.
