Stats alone suggest he's a dynamite offensive player. Beyond that there is alot to like too.

Couple unfortunate injuries are the only thing keeping him out of the Strome/Marmer group IMO
He's as close a comparable to Bennett in this draft in terms of raw skills. Just a little shorter. I don't like the idea of trading up, but if he's on the board at 11, I'd be talking up the Panthers to see if they were willing to drop 4 picks.
