If the kid can avoid more injuries he should have a long career in the NHL.

I think he's going to carve out a career as a serviceable middle-roster player.
He has some skill and he seems tenacious and plays 'big' but he has to know his role. That 'playing big' is getting his small frame consistently rocked, hes gotta get away from that.
I really think that Edmonton's 'system' if you want to call it that, just really didnt suit him.
A fresh slate in Seattle could be just what he needs.
