Haha, its hard to portray tone online...my first response was sarcastically implying he's there already.

No because even as high a pick as he was, it's still not as schadenfreude-y as a 1st overall bust. 

That being said, it's shocking to see how poorly he's played as opposed to Laine considering the buzz around both of them leading to the draft.

Been saying this for a while. He has never adjusted to the size of the rinks and the speed of North American style hockey. He hasn't convinced me that he is a game-breaking player in any sense. I won't say bust, but he should be a top 6 forward for Edmonton already. For what his skills were - he should be a point producing player. He's not and unless I see him start taking over games and proving that he can be a driving player I won't be convinced be belongs in the NHL.
