His upside is absolutely that of an NHL regular. I think it's a long shot, but to say even his upside isn't NHL bound shows you don't really pay attention to the player.

Thank you for your analysis on my analysis. No "offensive" taken.
You can take the opinion of whomever you'd like. Nobody's opinion really matters in terms of how good a player is - if he's good, he will make it.
As someone who has been around here for a long time, I encourage you to focus your energy to commenting on the player, not on a poster's perspective on the player.
I have seen him play probably 30 times in the last three years. How many have you seen him? I've also coached about a dozen players who have played against him in the last two years and spoken to all of them about their thoughts as well. Is any of this solid concrete for projection? Of course not. But still worth noting in a thread about a player, his quality, and projection.
