Even better, he is known to play a good defensive game (great penalty killer, blocks shots), and is a powerful skater.
I've skipped over him many times because his numbers aren't eye-popping, but he put up 60 pts in 62 g last year and was considered a potential top-10 pick for 2017. He also looked great in the prospects game, and apparently plays well on the international stage.
I think his numbers this year aren't an adequate indication of his potential, and that he may turn into another Boone Jenner/Brandon Saad type.

That's an interesting thought. If you can trade 16 for something like 30+35 is Chmelevksi+Comtois better than an Andersson or a Vesalainen?
I think they honestly might be. I wonder if any teams would be interested in making a trade like that.
