I really hope that as he puts on a few pounds, he doesn't lose his ability.

I think this is how most fan's feel, myself included.
The way I see it, if he turns into a full-time NHLer he's going to be a young top 6 potential star player. I'd see it as 1 less early first rounder that the flames require in this rebuild. I'm not saying it will take a full year off a rebuild, but it's one more important asset that the Flames will have for years to come. If he doesn't pan out it's no big deal as he was a 4th rounder and it's really just a big bonus if he does.
