He most certainly will be spending another year in juniors...
Cornel worked hard to improve his defensive game from his rookie season where he looked completely lost in his own zone. He did become better at playing the body, and at helping his defence in containing the cycle game. However he still has some issues with keeping his feet moving and with basic positioning. Its certainly something that can be learned, and Cornel should get there given the improvements he showed offensively and defensively this year, he has shown that he is coachable, and willing to work hard to improve his game.
Eric Cornel’s game is reminiscent of Mark Schiefele of the Winnipeg Jets. This is a style comparison and not a talent one though. He still is very raw, and with continued improvement he could become a very good top six centre. However he is a bit of a project, and he will need quite some time and development before he is ready for the next level.
