But if you think he has the raw talent and has been playing his whole career essentially against competition that's 8 to 11 months older than him then you could project that he'd be a top pick had he been born earlier in the year.
This is dependent on him growing and maturing as essentially a 2013 pick so he's a year further away in his development potentially. Judging by the scouting reports on the high latent talent level, and the fact that the Flames need upfront players at late draft positions, this pick makes perfect sense.
