Make no mistake if you think he is the next Chara, he is not.
I really hate to write this because not only is he a Royal, but now a flame, but if he does not improve his skating, i will be surprised if he makes the NHL.

A very reasonable assessment, which is appreciated. I know nothing (well, now next to nothing) about him so nice to get impressions from those who've watched him play.
