If traded to go on a memorial cup run next season, I think people would be surprised at the production. I want a reliable 2 way center too and he is exactly that. Has the highest compete level amongst his peers in the WHL (according to FC, my favorite draft guide).

Find me a scout that projects Cootes as anything other than a 3rd line C. It's pretty much what every scout thinks. Could they be wrong? Sure, but I don't see it. I would rather we swing for someone with more upside.
