How does that not project to being an NHL C?
Im with you actually, I really really like this deal for the Avs, but its also a pretty good one for the Leafs considering where they are in cap room.

I think he's a winger in the NHL.
He seemed to be playing wing when I watched avs games last year.
Also don't think he's going to get ~15 mins a night in Toronto like he did in Colorado.
I like the player a lot, but I don't believe he's necessarily a top 6 roster player going forward on a contending team.
I think it's an excellent trade for both teams. The leafs are deeper at C than Calgary is at D, and dealt from a position of strength to address two weaknesses. Vice versa for the avs.
