It looks like he's mostly played high school hockey:

He had 4 points in 9 games in the USHL last season. He was scoreless in the Hlinka tournament last year, which probably didn't help raise his stock much.
Reading his scouting report, he seems like the kind of kid you hope turns into another Gaudreau, but likely doesn't. Obviously, the Preds are hoping he does.
