Take that as you will but he will be a very interesting player to watch starting in Stockton next season.

If I had to choose id rather have him have the former attributes than the latter, as I feel speed and body strength are far more reachable than understanding the game and how to play smart hockey. Hopefully the flames get lucky and find a diamond in the ruff, would be very helpful.
