14 goals in his last 15 games. That pace would put him approx. tied with michael misa for league best.
28 points in those same 15 games. That pace would put him fourth in the league for point pace.
He's also a +24 in that stretch. In fact, he's only had 2 negative games all season and none in those last 15 GP.
Most importantly he passes the eye test.
We got a gamer here. If he keeps his foot on the gas he'll be right near the top of the league for per gp stats.

He’s going to be 20 this May. Why would he go to college? If he wants to be a pro he’ll be in the AHL and have a real chance at getting NHL games.

I’m sure if the Sens dangle a contract he’ll be tempted, but just saying as of now he is going to college.
I also don’t think it’s a big deal either way. He can do it for a year and sign a contract at the end of next season, not like we’re ripe with forward prospects. I don’t think it’s gonna hurt his development.

The college route is perfectly reasonable for someone like him, especially when you consider that this decision could have been made before he exploded in the OHL. He has a game that looks AHL ready and I hope that's what he does but nothing wrong with him having planned for the college route earlier this year and if he sticks to that I don't think you can fault him. It's a very good development path.
edit- here it is, last February he committed to Wisconsin
