0.88 PPG in the AHL last year and plays a very responsible 200 foot game. He won't be a top 6 forward, but he will be an everyday player for sure.

I would love to be wrong, I just don't hold a lot of hope for 23 year olds who have yet to play an NHL game.
The biggest concern is his foot speed. Players who don't skate at an NHL level have a hard time cracking the lineup.
If he is an everyday player for the Flames, it will likely be a function of how bad their depth has become.
