And it's not like he's being propped up by another player, Anthony lead Shawinigan by 30.
Concerns would be a little undersized (not small) and if his offensive level is for real.
If the Flames drafted him at 15 you'd wonder if they could have gotten him a little later but man there is a lot to like with this player.

He's also very good on faceoffs (> 60% last year as a 17 year old). which if it translates to the NHL, means he could be a Datsyuk/Giroux/TJ type #1C
But man would there be an uproar about taking a 5'10 player "projected" around 35 @15 :P
