He's not showing the consistency of a 16th overall pick, but he shows flashes. He's young & has the talent to be a real player for the rebuilding Flames if he can consistently put the effort in. If he could add a physical aspect to his game he would be a monster, but he just doesn't seem to be that sort of player.

Yes, he's a fourth round pick to us. It doesn't matter where he was drafted, just what was paid to get him here.
