Good to hear!
A few questions for you guys...
Will he play in Belleville next year?
Do you see top 4 upside in him?
How far away is he from cracking the sens' roster?
Are you higher on him or Englund at this point in time?
I'll give you my opinion from the few times I have seen him at development but a few here will probably disagree.
Yes, IMO he will play in Bellville next season even though at this point in time Ottawa only has 4 right shot defencemen in the organization & three of them already play in Ottawa.
It's possible he has top 4 potential but I would put him behind Karlsson & Ceci & maybe someday ahead of Wideman who I think LV takes in the expansion draft on the right side. Not sure where he ranks overall against all of the defencemen in the organization but I would think somewhere behind a couple of the guys who played in Bingo last yr. I would rank them behind the defencemen in Ottawa & in this order at this time, Harpur, Chabot, Englund, Jaros & Lajoie.
No, IMO I think both Englund & Jaros would make a terrific 3rd pair, Jaros might be slightly more valuable only because he is a right shot & Ottawa happens to have mostly left shots in the organization.
I think he definitely has NHL potential but could be at least a yr away. I would think that Harpur who played in this yr's playoffs could be ahead of him at this point & time & Harpur can play the right side as well. he is certainly an interesting prospect to watch, I am very high on him & his physical play. Have a great day.
