I totally think this kid is going to make the NHL - but at what time and in what capacity is totally up in the air.

He has everything - how well he puts it together and develops will take him from the 1st line center position to a 3rd line checker (or 4th line, if he adds some physicality to his game as he builds on his frame).
This makes him the most interesting prospect in the organization to me (well, him and Ferland). Not saying the highest rated - but the most intriguing simply because he COULD become a 1st line center, but is such a project. Great start and I hope he just excels so badly this year.
