His weakness is his skating, however. He seems to require the extra stride or two then most to hit his speed.
Either way, he is a good prospect, as most 1st round selections are and I would anticipate he will be on the Flames team in the 2013-2014 season

IMO, if the kid isn't up with the club after 2 years of minors
at the most, he isn't going to amount to much.
the skating is not at the elite level, despite the teams at the Mem Cup. the WJC was a better gauge of the talent he'll be facing at the NHL level, and Nemisz didn't set the world on fire there, say, unlike Backlund or even Dustin Boyd or Nigel Dawes or Iggy.
That's the relative comparison imo.
