If he maintains his current level of play, I have no problem with him in the top six for a couple of years. I would certainly hope, however, that he is surpassed by the likes of Gaudreau, Baertschi, Poirier, Klimchuk or whoever, by the time we are ready to compete.
That said, I would have nothing against him on the third line on a playoff team, again assuming he maintains or improves on his current play.
