-he obviously needs to bulk up and get stronger, hopefully he has another growth spurt coming too
-I saw reports that he has a great 200ft game but based on what I saw he looked lost in his own zone
-if he's going to make it in the NHL it will have to be as a middle 6 winger who can play in all situations because I don't think he has the raw skill to be a top line scorer or playmaker
-he looks to be fairly versatile as Moncton used him at LW, RW and as the QB from the point on the PP
-as others have mentioned he looks like a Gallagher/Bennett hybrid which would be great but he also has the skill set to be a great defensive forward if he can get bigger and improve his defensive game
Seems like a decent pick at 26.

Lol, I don’t see how his shot is a negative. I watched his highlights and one of his biggest attributes seems to be his quick release. Seems like you are over analyzing things.
