There are certainly questions about him and plenty of red flags about a kid that had an alright season. That doesn't mean it was a bad pick or he won't make it but there is still a lot of question of whether he will make it out not as there would be with any late 1st/2nd round pick.

He may well have spent a lot of time on the wing. He only took 83 draws, where 4 teammates took 450+

He didn't get a ton of points with only 18 in 34 GP but the team leader only had 24 in 38 GP. Just looking at stats, looks like a team with pretty balanced scoring.
Probably decent for a first year player depending how he was used. Next year should be interesting to see how he progresses.
