Impressive for sure. However some of those were tap ins on great setups, a bunch of those won't go in on NHL goalies. He won't generate as many breakaways in the NHL most likely. Is he Larkin? Is he more like Shean Donovan? Unfortunately the highlights don't show the times he failed to generate offence and thats what some scouts criticize about his game, he has games where he doesn't generate as much. His passing does seem to be excellent.
If he can't be switched to the wing then he's in tough behind Monahan, Bennett, Backlund at centre. Given his position and projection as a #2 to #3 centre I think there are better options for the Flames in the top 8. Just my opinion of course and I haven't seen him live so I'm going more on scouting reports.
