Yes. I see a Batherson type of trajectory for him.
He will be well over PPG in the A this year and stir the drink. I hope when he gets his opportunity in the NHL it is with skilled players, maybe PP2 as well.

I'd be fine with him just being a very good 3rd liner. Would help our depth in these upcoming years.

Next year could do
3C Halliday
4C Ostapchuk
Pinto and Norris are both too good for the bottom six.

I hope not. He needs to develop his offensive game in the AHL and learn to be a go-to guy down there.
O can be a 4th line C and keep developing.

He doesn't play the style of play you want on your fourth line. Better to let him develop his offensive game to become a scoring line player.

"Tim actually reached out to me, to say I was doing a good job at camp. I was pretty fanboyish."
Later, Halliday asked Stutzle for Dinner recommendations, Stutzle made a reservation for Halliday and paid the bill.
: Stephen Halliday told me a moment that sticks out in his memory from training camp so far.
"I went in the corner with Sanderson one time, and he gave me, cross check, and I was like, HOLY, that's not like an NCAA guy."
Love it! Stu is an ace of spades and hearts, I really liked Halliday's performance. He needs to learn some defensive hockey, but his offensive acumen was on display in the last game and he made the primary assists in the GTG and GWG OT goal against the Leafs on Sunday. An NHL playmaker in the making.
Now Halliday is training with Gagner in Toronto and working alongside Matt Nichol, the Senators’ director of player health and performance. The goal is for Halliday to hammer down on some crucial details at even strength and on special teams. Instead of typical drills with cones and pylons littered all over the ice, many sessions involve Halliday and Gagner recreating in-game situations with nets at either end of the ice, from retrievals after pucks are rimmed around the boards to working along the boards during the power play.
“He created a lot, I think, (in his) full first pro season,” Gagner said of Halliday. “He learned a lot about the grind and how much work has to go into it to be successful. He’s already such a dangerous player, but we want to get into that next level and want him to be a full-time NHLer, and be a really effective one that produces at the NHL level.”

Sens are really honing in on Halliday’s development, it would be cool if he panned out for us.

It seems like the knock on Halliday has been that he is not really suited for the bottom-6 and that he is really just an offensive minded player. In terms of his output, he has produced everywhere that he has played, including the USHL, NCAA & AHL. He also listed at 6'4" 212lbs.
This type of training looks to be rounding out his defensive game, so that he can play in all situations and can be more of an overall effective 2-way C.
He would certainly know that there is an opening on the 4th line and that could very well be his ticket to make the team in Sept/Oct.

Maybe we should have like an NFL styled training squad of kids that just help recreate these scenarios?
Like nine university or ECHL vets on the ice with Halliday that are just there to provide realistic game scenarios.
As "payment" they get to participate in all the other non-situational drills and get access to some pro coaching and pro facilities.
