Whats his ceiling as far as comparisons go
Top 4 guy. He's got a sturdy build, has decent speed and can be a puck moving defenseman but Boughner has him focusing on defensive side of things which he is average at with ability to get better. Very patient with the puck as well. Doesnt get scared and make a silly play. Will take hits to make the play
Will get physical and has some untapped offense. His junior and AHL numbers back that up.
Think he battles Pysyk all year long for top 4 minutes or he will get more PK/PP time, he needs an expanded role to secure that top 4 ceiling. Otherwise, hes an ideal 3rd pairing guy going forward. I like his upside.
