He will likely never be big enough or strong enough to carve out a career as a two-way forward or a checker.
But the way that he has handled himself against higher-level competition this past year should give Flames fans high hopes of him reaching this potential. He was a star player at BC in his rookie season. That alone is a pretty spectacular accomplishment. Had he dominated in another programme would not have been nearly as impressive; to be one or two of the best players for the national championship team—and the best NCAA team by a country mile—as a 5'6" rookie is huge.

So you're saying the same thing that I am, and I'm idiotic. Comparing him to Schremp is like saying that he could easily be a bust. Is he going to be Fleaury? Hopefully, but I doubt it
The name calling is tired, and turns people off from reading and participating in the thread so grow up..
