Unlike a lot of people, I am extremely thorough when scouting for the CPHL draft, and had him rated as a 10/10 on my list and tried to trade to get him (didn't think he'd go in the 1st round in the CPHL draft) and did not get him.
However, for pure upside, he has as much upside as any forward in the draft, and perhaps more than some of the bigger names. He's a bit of an unknown due to his size change and will have to fill out, but he's basically as good offensively as John Gaudreau is and is both a good playmaker and has a good shot. If he figures out how to use his size, he could easily be in the same class as Jamie Benn.
That's why I am so thrilled with this pick because I do know a good amount about him, and was mentioning him months ago as a good potential player.
It's not like I'm just waving the pom poms just because. He could very well be the 1st line Center that we've been looking for for 20 years
