Edit: I don't think he makes the NHL if he doesn't learn to at least become more assertive on the ice. I can understand why he is hesitant - maybe he still not used to his frame - but he should have been one of the more aggressive prospects in the Flames camp scrimmages, but rather he seemed to be one of the most passive. I hope he picks it up a notch for this team Canada camp, and a few notches in the NCAA this upcoming season.

That, in a nutshell, is the biggest concern moving forward.
It was an issue at Providence this past season. Hopefully with increased strength and confidence he will become a (more assertive) player.
Jury is out until he does.
