I dont get why people would suggest this, he would just dominate offensively against less effective Dmen. Hes clearly NHL ready and playing well.

Should Michkov or Celebrini go down to AHL cus their teams are awful? Should Bedard have been sent down last season? makes zero sense
Wherever will teach him how to be better positionally, not cheat as much, and be willing to make the simple play.

Things are different for forwards and you know that.

I just don't think playing 20 and sometimes more is going to help in the long run this season especially since he seems to leave everything on the ice each shift.

Pretty good
He kind of got dummied tonight outside of that shift against the 4th line and bottom pair. Wild did a good job of clogging his lanes and making him uncomfortable. Seemed frustrated most of the night and took a rookie penalty late to seal the loss.

Obviously a lot to like in the potential, but clearly still a large work in progress as nearly every defenseman under 22 is. Seems like a smart kid though from my previous viewings, should learn and adapt pretty quickly, but I wouldn't expect greatness for several more years, if he can get there.
