I think he needs to add more size to his frame (197 at 6'3" is a little lanky). Once he does that, I think he'll be ready for a stint in the big club to see what he can do and if he can stick.

I agree, but he doesn't play like he's lanky. I believe in juniors and in the WJs he didn't play very physical, but he sure is here in Abby.
