Yep they could have taken the Oiler route and thrown him in the top 6 right away after he was drafted. Then we'd be here years later lamenting what a poor pick it was haha.
Just goes to show what a bit of patience can do with a player. Not everyone is ready for the NHL at 18, sometimes we have to remember that everyone develops differently and sometimes it just takes a little longer.
