His underlying offensive metrics are elite. The question for me is if he's going to be able to play defense at the professional level.
These were the results of the OHL coaches poll this season:
Best Defensive Defenceman:
Eastern Conference:
1. Joey Keane, Barrie Colts (17)
2. Jacob Moverare, Mississauga Steelheads (16) –
finished third in 2016-17
3. Riley Stillman, Hamilton Bulldogs (15)
3. Riley Bruce, North Bay Battalion (15)
Western Conference:
1. Conor Timmins, Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds (43)
2. Keaton Middleton, Saginaw Spirit (14)
3. Connor Hall, Kitchener Rangers (10)
So those guys seem to think so
