He has over 200 games at the Junior level if you count playoffs, so that there likely makes him a good candidate to move up to the next level. If he shows up to camp with 200 pounds on his frame and is in good condition, I think he'll get his 9 games at the start of the season. At that point if he does go back to Junior, than I think the 67's would look to move him just after the World Juniors.
He may not have the experience that Stajan or Backlund do, but he was a 6 overall pick so he probably his skill sets that they don't.
