Pretty much. Plus you can get him to NA next season if you want to. He won't set the league on fire but I can see him getting at least a few NHL games. He's the type that can learn the game in the bottom 6 without costing the team. He understands the center game extremely well.
Sure, his skating is average, but he has too many things going for him for that to be an issue. With his size and intelligence, he just doesn't rely on skating speed at all.
