He is a man playing with boys. The question is whether his skills translate? I think it's early to know and it would be beneficial to see at least a year if not more to see some progress before calling him one of our top prospects. Would like to see him against some pros before elevating him above some of the guys that have shown growth in the pros. We've seen how quickly the blush can come off a player's rose in these ratings by looking at Zary and Kerins hitting the professional wall.

And Pelletier would have been a 2nd or maybe even 3rd rounder in that draft.
