Last year he was projected top 10 and some scouts thought he might crack the top 5, had he not been injured by a cheap shot he may have had 50 goals, even missing 14 games he finished 4th in the Q with 30 even strength goals.

I wouldn't be upset or surprised if BT and Button stepped up and take him at 6. Fits their bill of big and physical with skill at 6'4 and 225 and two back to back 40 goal seasons. 38g in 14/15 and 41g in 15/16. His highlights on Youtube look pretty good. Have to remember Central Scouting and the Flames scouts won't be ranking the same, so it all depends on how Button views him.
