Overall He's never really wowed me. Maybe I'll be wrong but I don't really see any star potential.

His numbers last year after going back to junior where he started slow ended up good but not great, and he scored less goals than the year before.

Didn't produce in the WHL playoffs or the WJ tourney.

He's trending behind Eberle at the same age by a fair margin.

I think if he makes the NHL, he will end up as a 40-50 point player.
There is real bust potential there though. If he's a 30ish point guy he will be off to Europe because no one has time for a 5'7" 30 point player.
