Burmistrov has got some sick hands and even at 170 lbs soaking wet, he isn't afraid to play the body. He laid out Skinner pretty good in the last Canes-Thrasher match up and Skinner is 190-195 lbs. If this kid's offensive awareness catches up with his hands and defensive game, and if he keeps steadily adding weight, he's going to be a great player. I don't know if he'll ever be a #1 center, but he'll definitely be a two-way, top 6 center, and that's just as valuable as a #1 center with mediocre/below average defensive ability, IMO.
