Sure he can still grow, but I wouldn't expect to him to suddenly blossom into a Norris contender or anything.
People made the same argument about how Lindholm was clearly just a 40 point forward when we acquired him.

Development isn’t always linear, it doesn’t always stop after a certain point. Players can make huge strides in their games in their mid 20’s. There’s endless examples of it.
