I honestly have a hunch that that might just be the case. Because he's just that special. He's had better college career numbers than some big NHL stars and has shown that he can't be pushed around with any ease despite playing against larger men. He's also been very durable. Of course, we'll need to surround him with some 'beef' as Burke says, but I think the kid will just take off. I don't see him suddenly hitting a wall in terms of production. As long as he isn't physically injured or just overpowered, he's got too much skill not to do some great things at the next level as well. He's an elite talent plain and simple.
