I'm not convinced his lateral mobility is good enough for the NHL right now. I think he could easily play in the AHL though, but he's not eligible for that.
If I'm the Flames, I send him back to Junior and tell him to try and squeeze in as much free time just working on skating. Fast-twitch muscles, edgework, etc. Skating will take him a long way, because his offensive instincts are NHL-calibre. He's not a poor skater but at his currently level I wouldn't put him higher than a bottom pairing guy.
