Just his last 2 seasons were very impressive. I'm not sure if he is an extremely late bloomer or not.

The NHL interest does seem a little late though. There should have at least been some last year. I do think this is a skilled player that is more useful in a top 6 role. So if he can't make someone's top 6, there's no reason to have him in the NHL.
