I don’t think him missing the WJC changes anything I view about him. I have zero doubt that he will be an effective NHL player. My biggest concern is the upside. He has a man’s body, hardly any room to add weight. Yes, he will get better with NHL coaching and can optimize his strength - but I just don’t see him becoming worlds better than he currently is. In the NHL I see that as a 40-60 point, middle six guy who can contribute on the PP and PK. Maybe not exactly what you want with the 9th pick, but that’s where my mind is at. If he turns out better it will be a pleasant surprise.
