Well he is already 181 pounds on a 5'10" frame... I'm not sure how much more you want him to fill out. I would think ideal playing weight at 5'10" is about 180 to 190 lbs.

Plus, you don't want him to lose that ridiculous speed we saw last night.

I honestly predict he makes the opening lineup next year since the Flames already said they barely sent him down this year.

Also, I think these few NHL games will be GREAT for him to see exactly what the game is like on the ice up here and what he needs to do over the summer to become a full-time top six NHLer.

Hopefully when he goes back to Portland he can help push them deep into the playoffs.
