Not realistically by people who'd watched him. But definitely mid to low 1st round to start the season. At mid point he had cemented himself mid round, around 12-15. Everything he's shown since february is top 10 worthy easy. I think there's a decent chance he's the 2nd forward taken at the moment.
Gms love NHL bloodlines, he's producing goals in important games like a machine, he's got NHL level off puck skills... he's honestly an awesome prospect and I think it's flames self hatred that has fans here against picking him.
It would be a dream to pick him.
