If he adds mass to that 6'6" frame, plays with a little more edge (which I saw in that U18 game against Canada), but keeps the skill, vision, and hockey IQ then you are looking at a steal at #6.

Whenever I see him play, and then hear the complaints about his drive, character, and using his size it tends to remind me of the question marks against Getzlaf. A guy who would look dominating while playing for Canada at the WJC but then take stretches of games off at a time for the Hitmen.
Pretty much what I'm thinking and you put it much better!
