I could see him starting as our 6th.

With Wilson, Henry, Mikkelson, Smith, Breen, Piskula, Carson, and Negrin all looking for the 6 and 7 spots I would say he is far from a lock. In fact, unless he really improved his defensive game I don't think he makes the team.
Last year we lacked an offensive D-man with the Flames and the competition from the Heat was minimal. This season we have Babchuk on the Flames and Smith, Henry, and Wilson have been added as offensive options.
