I don't know if it's just me, but he reminds me of PK Subban when he starts skating the puck up the ice.

Yup. PK Subban & Kris Letang are the two players that come to mind when I see this kid. He impressed me a lot.

And I'm not a Leafs fan, btw.

I think he's a bit over rated to be honest. He's still a good prospect but not even close to a top prospect. Jake Gardiner is 2 years ahead of him and is really on another level. He could maybe be a top 4 d-man one day... but that won't be for a while. At least 4-5 years. Likely projection is a 4th-5th d-man.

If he ends up like these two I'd be ecstatic, Blacker and Schenn will make a solid pairing after Phaneuf and Aulie in a few years time.

A great right-right pairing?
