Good player but don’t see much higher ceiling than a top 6 D.

He's been noticeable offensively in a good way all game, good for him.

Awesome! Nice shot.

What’s that have to do with his first goal. I think he has the potential to be a middle
Pairing defenseman. He’s an unreal skater and has been terrific playing guys on the rush. He needs a little work in the defensive zone covering but I think that’s mostly do to lack of expand young age.

I don’t see him ever being a big offensive guy but his skill set would surprise me if he put up some 30-40pt seasons while playing really good defensively.

Being a reliable steady 6-4 defenseman would be fine by me.

Much better showing than I expected as a rookie. Very encouraged generally with his overall performance at the NHL level. Congrats on #1.

To be fair, every d-man is a top 6d.

He’s played 20 games. How the hell do you know.

Because I’ve watched him play?

Ok so why should we take your opinion seriously. What is your experience to state such a fact. Former NHLer or professional sports writer? Is it because he’ll never be as good as Nathan MacKinnon? It’s a bad take, as usual.

I thought he made a joke with the top 6 d thing, easy out, but no.

Same. Every defenseman in the NHL is a top 6 D just by definition.

I thought that but knowing his history I took it as “he will never be a top pairing defender/ he’ll be a #6” but there’s definitely time for him to say ha ha I made a funny.

I.e. he’s a 5/6 D. Decent D, good skater but nothing special.

Not sure how no one else sees this. Islanders fans will probably be ripping him to shreds in 2 years (like they do to all of their D) anyway
