He'll probably need some time in the AHL, but they sounded very high on him.
The only way he walks is if he chooses to. Treliving said they will be offering him a contract and have every intention of signing him.

Thanks, getbak. I see I poorly-worded it, but I didn't mean it as them being down on him - quite the opposite. As in his only weakness now is the pace, which is a good thing.
