Not sure I would be rushing to give away assets for him.

Yeah, I agree on highlight packages, but it's the variation in that highlight package that intrigues me, plus his tendency to go to the front of the net, plus his solid, compact build, plus his consistent growth in the AHL and in the NHL over the last four years.
My one concern isn't his height, but it's that he disappeared down the stretch when Kaprizov was injured (which has a big impact on fantasy!). But that's why the Wild aren't willing to sign him long term and are looking to trade him at what should be a discount.
He's worth a mid to late first and a B+ prospect.
