I heard of this kid last year (BTW he had 35 assists then) from what I'm told he's a physical beast who skates threw people with an explosive stride, great hands and shot, above average IQ and a tireless worker along the boards.
Again, he had a tough season with an injury, but he was top 10 on most lists in December and I for one would love to see the flames grab him. but not at 6.

Not saying he's a bad player but the Flames aren't picking in the teens. There are much better prospects available at 6.
