I remain very skeptical about Formenton's upside in the NHL. He is fast but this is the best of the best: he may remain quick but the difference between his best and everyone else's is not as pronounced and he doesn't have much going for him outside of the speed factor.
I just think they need to take their time with him, hopefully he gets lots of opportunity in Belleville in scoring situations pp first line etc.
I think he is a guaranteed 3rd line player I just hope he ends up being better than that. If he starts on the team this year he will never be anything more than an energy guy as you are correct he clearly lacks scoring ability.
