He's a bit of a tough call right now with his size being the main concern. Outside of that he seems to have all the other assets to be a good player.

BC has him listed at 5'8 159. If he can push to 170-175 by the beginning of the 2014-2015 season I think that will be good. As most have said, his size really doesn't seem to be much of an issue so far. There are players who can use small stature to an advantage and he seems to be one.
The main point is he needs to play pro-hockey ASAP. He is far beyond Junior and far beyond college if what we have seen over the last 2 years is any indication. He may need a little time in the AHL to get used to pro-sized opponents, but I can't see him being kept off the big club for long.
