Not really fan of this pick. I highly doubt he'll become an NHLer just because I feel his size/truculence gets too much attention over his deficiencies. He can improve a lot by the time he reaches a chance to play in the NHL, but unless his skating and speed improves significantly, I think he's ceiling is 4th liner - AHLer. I would love him to prove me wrong because I feel the Flames are craving for a player who is big, nasty and can play... but till then I won't expect much out of him.
