The kid has been progressing in all areas of the game. IMO he still looks 2-3 years away from making the jump. It will be interesting to see what happens then. The Oilers should have a lot of kids battling for a top 6 spot in that period with Musil, Klefbom, Marincin and then other long shots who have had glimpses of promise with Gernat, Davidson and Blain. My gut feeling is this kid should get a top 4 spot. I think it will be a battle between him and Gernat and Marincin in last years camp and overall this year looks to have the better 2 way game. To me him and Klefbom would make a wicked second pairing that can move the puck to the forwards. Something were desperately missing right now.
