People keep bringing up his size, size, size, and it's pretty evident that the Flames went for size over high end skills with this pick. Don't get me wrong there's always a place for a middle six forward (that's largely what he was considered in scouting reports) with size but the Flames really need to value elite skills above measurables given the lack of an elite player in the organization. I think he has potential to be a good player for the organization one day just not a great one and it just puts more pressure on them to get it right in the 2024 draft and hopefully unearth a franchise player.
