I actually really like him at center - he is very fast, and his CORSI stats are really good. If he can just bring his offensive game up, I think he would make a really great 2nd line center. His defensive awareness is really great I think, and he will make a very good 3rd line center moving forward IF he doesn't develop his offensive game further. Just my opinion though - and it really depends on what other players the Flames draft in the upcoming seasons, and how their current prospects continue developing (like Jankowski and Granlund especially).
