I did a little more reading about him. I've read that he projects as a stay-at-home defender. Strange, given his point totals, skating ability, and his propensity to join the rush. He also, apparently, likes to play a physical, hard hitting game. He took his team's hardest match-up assignments, and that is probably the largest contributor to his terrible +/-.
I'm not sure what to make of this kid, there's so much conflicting information out there. He sounds like he might be an offensive defenseman in the Dumba vein, who was asked to play a shutdown role he wasn't suited for. Or maybe he's actually more of a two-way defenseman and is being mislabeled by scouts. Looking forward to seeing him play so I can figure that out for myself.
