He’s also an elite skater, and he hits like a truck. He was the best d-man in the playoffs on one of the best teams in KHL, as a 17-year-old.

From the same article.

He’s a taller version of Simashev and a meaner version of Simon Edvinsson; both of them were sixth overall selections. Odds are that type of player is going to go very high in the draft.

“In my years doing this I’ve never seen a player like him,” said one NHL scout who started working shortly after the Hedman draft.
I don’t think there’s any chance he’s still on the board when the Flames pick.
