He’s only played 5 games, and generally has looked comfortable and pretty solid playing limited third pair minutes. I’d be happy with him as the #7 or #8 this season (when the roster is healthy), and as he gains NA experience I could see him turning into a good top-6 defender.

It is just going to take a while to see what type of D he'll be at the NHL level. Way early. He's not making too many mistakes and has not seemed overwhelmed by NHL speed.

 

[Midnight Judges]

He doesn't look overmatched at all. Been reasonably smart with the puck - good outlet passes.

There is some hope there IMO.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I think he’s somewhat error prone right now, but the size and skill, there’s good stuff to work with.

 

[Ridley Simon]

He’s gonna be w the big club for a long time, I’d wager. Loved his signing.

 

[Hivemind]

Been the best of our 3rd pairing LD options so far, by a pretty clear margin.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

I saw him in Montreal and his pivoting ability moving from backward to forward skating looked very slow and worried me. Hopefully that’s something they work on because his size and range is such an asset.
