56 points in 50 gp so far in Missisauga. I wouldn't mind at all if the Flames went all in on Steelhead players in rounds 1 and two this year. Grabbing one of McLeod/Nylander and Sean Day.
Some scouts are very concerned about his offensive upside. Some scouts see him as a surefire speed demon 2nd line centre but some think he could top out as more of a speedy 3rd line checking centre.

Due to the questions about his offensive upside I don't think he'd be in contention for our pick. We need surefire top two line players or top 4 d-men and those are available in the top 10 for sure. Great prospect but doesn't quite fit our needs IMO. We're deep at centre so I wouldn't take another top 10 this year unless it's Matthews. Size on the wing or another top 3 d-man is what I would be going this draft based on what's available and our needs.
