Agreed that he is easily a 1st round pick in a redrafthe is ainec a 1st RD pick.
Rare are the players who can body check the best player of any teams like he does and the opposite team simply does not have any answer for it.
The hockey skills, although limited, is not bad but the intangibles here is extremely, extremely valuable. Its prime Lucic-like.
His puck skills are very good and easily above average as has been mentioned by Hughes and MSL. The only issue that he has is that he started playing hockey later than most kids and was just very raw and needed time to grasp the technical/positional aspects of the game.
He has the potential to be a very good 2nd pairing D if he can continue to work towards making better decisions and if he can remain healthy. His floor is a punishing bottom pairing dman who can contribute offensively due to having decent puck skills and an elite slapshot along with a powerful wrister.
