Where does anyone get enforcer out of this pick...because he is big? He doesn't fight much. He does use his size to clear the zone though.
All 4th round picks by definition have limited upside. Otherwise they would have been drafted earlier.
I'd say a guy like Adam Brooks who was chosen a few picks before Middleton has a vastly higher potential upside.
He's 6'6 235lbs at 18 and he does fight and against some other rather large gentleman and he's done well doing so. Given his skill set, being the toughest guy out there is going to have to be how he claws his way to the NHL.
