He's a 6'7 18-year old. The coordination will come, and he's already showing improvements in leaps and bounds because of that. Skating can be improved - speed? He's probably going to be like 230-40 lbs, I'm not exactly worried about him moving fast, we have Bennett and Poirier for that.
I believe Hunter will get the Gustav Nyquist route. He'll get sent to Junior next year and tear it up for 2-3 full seasons in the AHL before the NHL full time call-up.
