I have a hard time seeing him without a contract. I think his offensive IQ will limit how high he plays up the lineup, but he has good physical tools and skates well. I think he is the polar opposite of Mazur in a lot of ways oddly.
He has a pro future for sure and turns 22 in October, so no reason not to get started. He was a pretty high pick, is physically ready and does a lot things you'd think the Wings should like, so seems likely he'll be signed. You just never know how the prospect feels about things or what else is going on his life. I agree he's quite different than Mazur and about the offensive IQ limits, but I've seen a couple of James' better games where he gives me Blake Coleman vibes. Probably wishful thinking.
