I really think his ceiling is bolded. He, in all likelihood, will become a tough 3rd pairing guy with a bit of enforcer to his game. I think he's pretty comparable to Ole-Kristian Tollefsen in terms of potential.

Mostly GM reputation (so they don't look like they're giving up too early), maybe some leadership for the farm team. He's not going to be an impact player on the Flames, but can still help out.
