I just don't see a guy who can think it well enough (or consistently enough maybe) to be a real impact guy at any point.
If he becomes a 25 goal, 55 point second line winger that’s great value for a 16th overall pick. I certainly believe he has the ability to get there. I know we all hope for more with 1st round picks but the reality is most struggle to become NHL regulars.
