The least inspiring thing about the pick is the school he’s going to. Niagara has barely ever developed an AHLer from what I can tell. It’s not a place serious NHL prospects go. I’d have more confidence if he were to go to a CIS school, take the Derek Ryan path.
In positive news though, he lead all the tournaments he played in this year in scoring, and looks to have shined at the WJAC.
In terms of the opportunity cost, two of Vancouver’s picks profile pretty similarly, Patterson and Romani. It will be interesting to watch the development.
