I don't have an opinion on that. Only watched him at the WJC. In general it's tough to evaluate teenagers playing against men. I'm not entirely convinced by the word of single scout on that but even if it's true I don't know what that means.
Looking at people's reports at hfboards, he has been getting loads more responsibility after the tournament. At the same time, the team is a sinking ship as far as I can tell, and a kid like him can't do much about that.
Lists probably overreacted to his performance at the WJC. He could be available for the Flames. Teräväinen was a late riser who eventually dropped to Chicago. Could be a similar situation.
