I guess one positive is that he's a natural center, and you can never have enough organizational depth at that position.
But looking at his stats on Hockey DB, it's hard not to be underwhelmed. In two seasons in the AJHL he never even broke the 10-goal mark, although it appears he was hurt for most of his second season. Frankly it's a little baffling that he was even able to earn an NCAA hockey scholarship.
But his numbers improved every year with the U of Nebraska-Omaha.....although not once did he break through the 30-point plateau. I guess you have to hope for is that the Canuck scouts were encouraged enough with his progress to offer him an ELC for a reason.
