For whatever reason he hasn't worked out in OTT but I see him as a Tkachuk type player for the Flames. Maybe a bit of a project but worth dumping Jokipakka. The 2nd is steep but I think that all has to do with the Sens picking him 17th overall and his age. Just think same age as Monahan.

Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk, Bennett all under 25 and contributing every game.
Jankowski, Klimchuk, Shinkaruk, & Poirier also young and any of them could make the team next year with a solid training camp.
Not a single one is a RH shot. I'm glad we can add him to the talented crop of forwards who are developing in the NHL & on the farm.
I see him as a RH Klimchuk; someone who will play in the middle 6 of a good team, be responsible all over the ice and pot the odd goal with an above-average shot.
