After sleeping on this, and watching a plethora of highlight videos I'm starting to come around a little bit on the pick.
Admittedly I'm still a bit upset he was taken when guys who were more highly touted with higher ceilings were still on the board (Perrault/Barlow) but he's definitely not a Hunter Smith type projection.
The good news is the guy clearly has the drive to do whatever it takes to win, and he was happy to be drafted by the Flames.
Here's to hoping!
