"He was a highly regarded player coming into this season, so the expectations were high," said John Williams of NHL Central Scouting. "His game progressed better than we had expected it might. He looks stronger, faster, and quicker. As a young player on a very good Edmonton team, he really drives the offense and does everything with quickness, which will translate well at the next level." 

The highest Edmonton player chosen in the NHL draft was defenseman Griffin Reinhart by the New York Islanders with the No. 4 pick in the 2012 NHL Draft; the highest forward was Curtis Lazar by the Ottawa Senators at No. 17 in the 2013 NHL Draft.
