How long until he makes the NHL and what's his potential?

[Axeman33]

My guess is he wont see the NHL for 2 years minimum. The kid just turned 18 (he was one of the youngest at this years draft) and will continue his development in Finland with his club Jokerit. As far as his potential, its sky high (easy top 6 scorer). He is the second coming of Patrick Kane to the Blackhawks. A little on the small side but tons of offensive upside and skill. Able to play Wing or Centre will only help him get to the show that much quicker. He had a great rookie camp (apparently was one of the best skaters out there). They just need him to work on his game and bulk up a little.

Hope his helps.

You can get more information quickly by searching his name on the forum. Since he is a recent draftee there has been a lot of talk about him around here.

Like Axeman said, one of the youngest in the draft, so wait time will be a bit longer.

However, he has pretty tremendous upside. I think long term he's the answer to that #2C role in CHI-town.

the upside is certainly there.
but he needs to bulk up a lot.
pretty rare for anyone to play in the nhl at 165lbs...

[kevinsrangers]

at least two years away and then even more before he produces well for a fantasy squad.
i doubt hes ever as good as kane but thats a good comparison- small,slick,goal scorer.
