There are 14 forwards taken in the first round in 2020 that have better numbers than him. I doubt Conroy bites on that package, it is pretty mediocre.

"middling" define middling. He is 21 and is on pace to score 20 goals in the NHL this season playing lower line minutes.
Edit: he just turned 22 I guess! But still.
