Maybe the NCAA route proves very valuable for him and he builds strength, TBH he really doesn’t need to be in Calgary for 2 or 3 years it’s gonna be tough here.

Yes - another year in NCAA is the right path. Hopefully he plays a larger role at WJC next year and as you say, definitely need to see more strength and power both with the skating and down low puck battles. I am still quite optimistic he is a legit 2C if everything comes together.
