I would expect it too, if he were a 4th round pick or above, or had been drafted in his first eligible season in the later rounds. The fact that he's doing so well and was a 7th round pick in his 2nd go round at the draft tells me the Flames might have found a bit of a diamond in the rough. He was pretty impressive at rookie camp and the prospect tournament. He might be another Jooris…guy who came out of nowhere to have a legitimate shot at the NHL. I think it's pretty impressive for how and where he was drafted.
