He's like the Swedish Bo Horvat. He'll play for sure, and I think in the right situation, he could step in right away and play. For the Flames, they could probably let him develop a bit more in Sweden.

Or have him come over and play big minutes in the AHL to learn the system and get used to the smaller ice.
