What do you guys think is Scheifele's realistic potential? And also what is his realistic floor? (like what player would you say he turns out to be at the very least)...Bruins fan here coming in peace.

He has a lot of strength to gain to be a Getzlaf-type player.
Having watched Getzlaf live last year, he plays a power game that Scheifele isn't even in the same ballpark with.
I think his ceiling is more like Jason Spezza - perhaps a soft'er' skilled game - and his floor is a Tim Connolly-type. If he can add some muscle, and stability on his skates, he'll likely be a very productive #2C.
You're comparing styles, not ceiling. Spezza is over a PPG for his career. Getz is just a bit under that. But Spezza has two 90 point seasons to Getz's one and two more 80 point seasons to Getz's one other.
At very best he is a Burmi type player ceiling of 3C
Worst case he is an Antropov at 4C
Mark has a long way to go, he is lighting it up against kids, but really failed to stand out even the slightest bit when he played with the big club.
He may also become a career AHLer, and I'm okay with that, we need more depth at the Rock.
Why though? We need AHLers too.We should be the furthest from ok with Mark Scheifele if he becomes a career AHLer.

I think you're confused about what 'ceiling' means.
For one, Burmi's ceiling isn't as a #3 C, unless you somehow believe he has has completely maxed out his talent level.
Second, because Mark hasn't stood out as an 18 and 19 year old playing against seasoned NHLers, that means he'll be no better than a #3 C?
Third, you're actually ok with a #7 overall pick being a career AHLer? For reference, here's a list of #7 overall picks in the past, count the career AHLers on that list:

Might want to clarify a bit, because I'm not really grasping your logic at all.
