You should not be using mid-first round picks to get third liners. If this is his ceiling, then I would consider it a bust as they didn't achieve their potential based on their draft position.
(for reference, I would also consider players like Jankowski, Colborne, Lazar, Puljujärvi, etc as busts despite the fact they carved out NHL careers.)

And that is also fair. But I don't think we should be limiting his ceiling to 3rd liner, he has the tools to be more than that.
