Its an easily correctable problem but at the same time I imagine it does cause concern as far as his ability to hold up physically in the NHL next season. A team picking in the top 3-5 spots is usually looking for a prospect with the high end skill that translates quicker then normal to the NHL.
If it makes a team like the oilers pass on him for that reason alone it will be very good for the Flames who don't absolutely need to win next year.
