Is that because his game is based more on being able to physically outmuscle teenagers currently? The emphasis with him doesn't seem to be on skill. But he seems to have a complete package. I think his game is better suited to an NHL style already, but it'll be much harder against men.
He has consistently puts up numbers wherever he's played, particularly in international tourneys. And is the most productive 2016 eligible player in the CHL leagues..clicking at 2PPG in the OHL.
On a side note, Alex Nylander, like brother William, was born in Calgary. Could be a cool story if we draft him 4-6.
