Let's be clear, this guy will play in the show. That's the benefit of this pick, you get a roster player, and he could be a very good one. Personally I see him as the Flames #2C of the future, which is a pretty damn good way to use a #6 overall pick. Thank God they didn't try to draft a defenseman.

He dfieinitely has #1 potential. I really like the fact all the scouts say he has the 2nd best hockey sense behind Drouin. He needs to work on his strength more than anything to improve his skating and explosiveness which I think is doable (listening to his interviews he is aware and has been working hard at it already). His high hockey sense and strong 2 way play give me the impression he has top line potential. I am such a huge fan of this pick
