I've been reading this thread I think it's a little unfair to peg him as a third line centre or a third line checker or whatever. He seems to have everything it takes to be more than that. Let's not place an artificial ceiling on him just yet.
Either way, I'm excited to see him play. Just being a Hobey Baker finalist doesn't mean much (especially looking at past Hobey Baker finalists and winners). Gotta love the points he's put up in his college career. I love how he led the nation in primary assists. That's huge.

If the Flames acquire enough center depth to push him to the third line, it isn't a bad thing. Just means we finally have depth at that position. Long term projection (a couple seasons) I would expect to flames to pick a center this year and given the opportunity (if we draft top 3) they will take an elite center next year. The best problem to have is having depth up the middle.
