Yeah, definitely. He has a strong 2-way game, solid hockey IQ and a never quit motor. He's also been decent on the dot against other team's top defending centres.
He's got enough skill to be a higher end 2nd line centre, or lower end first liner -- and his floor to me is a defensively-responsible 3rd line middleman, even though he's a little shorter.
He'll probably be gone by the time Flames pick, but maybe teams will knock him down for his size or just because they like that one player more. I'm crossing my fingers.
