I can understand why at a surface level it seems like he's pretty unassuming and nothing to get hyped up about, that is additionally part of the reason why he is exciting.
You're probably quite wrong with the 99% of people not watching him thing, the frozen four thread this year had a lot of people watching including myself and all the feedback is good, the guy is a good player.
I wouldn't be willing to bet that he is in the line-up next year for the whole season but probably the one after that. Even other Flames players and coaches have commented on his abilities in ways that aren't really heard of for a lot of our other prospects.
Also, his draft position should have no bearing on people's opinion of the guy at this point, the guy is where he is now and has progressed over the last few years before anyone was sure he'd even make it in college.
