A lot of the praise about Harkins from a few weeks ago could be applied to White. From Red Line's draft spotlight:



Not sure about his offensive upside, but it sounds like he could be a good #2 center. Of course if there are forwards with a higher ceiling still on the board, I'd prefer the Flames go that route. But White doesn't seem to be a total dud either, he's ranked right where the Flames are picking - nobody seems to be talking about him though.
I hate low ceiling players. They are just as likely to bust as anyone, but if they do hit, you're getting basically Backlund. With the calibre of talents in this draft, Backlund would be a disappointing pick for 15.
