He has top 6 if not top line upside but people always seem to ignore his actual production and say he has middle 6 center upside.

If I am not mistaken, Helenius has scored in 4 of the last 5 games as well. He is just getting used to NA, and the AHL, and is improving rapidly.
If the deal is out there, Flames should pull the trigger to get him prior to the World Juniors when his stock is set to rocket.
