They have more than enough Ds who can't defend as is.A 6”4 RHD that knows how to score ? Sounds like someone Columbus needs to be looking at
Is he terrible at defending ?They have more than enough Ds who can't defend as is.
number 4? not better than that?Always liked him. He just needed a chance and more minutes at the NHL level.
I think he can be a very good #4 one day.
What do you think he can become?number 4? not better than that?
Well, i look at his game, his skating ability, his size, his ability to quickly adapt to a new league, surroundings, different system. His other attributes.What do you think he can become?
I hope you are right.Well, i look at his game, his skating ability, his size, his ability to quickly adapt to a new league, surroundings, different system. His other attributes.
Daniil has slowly grown to his body and developed his game over the years in 6 different pro leagues and 5 years junior/bantam, prior to NHL.
He has an advantage in playing both forward and defenseman positions, also language is not an issue, i have red that he speaks several different languages.
- moved to NA at young age helped to learn english language
I see him as top 2 elite dman.
I have followed his career since rookie season in the Q.
Sure above is my opinion about him
He should stay in with Hutton coming out. The real question is what happens when Whitecloud comes back.Love this kid. I hope he stays in lineup when Theodore is back.
What if they go with :He should stay in with Hutton coming out. The real question is what happens when Whitecloud comes back.
He is 25 and filling in while others are out, if he tops out as a #4 guy that needs to be sheltered a bit defensively then Vegas should be really happy.Well, i look at his game, his skating ability, his size, his ability to quickly adapt to a new league, surroundings, different system.

I agree. I see him as a good #4 as well. Kind of reminds me a bit of Malakhov in terms of style.He is 25 and filling in while others are out, if he tops out as a #4 guy that needs to be sheltered a bit defensively then Vegas should be really happy.
My guess is that he hangs around the fringes then gets passed over in 3 or 4 years and that's his NHL career, unless something drastic changes.
To say that he could become an elite #2 Dman is to say that 150 prospect Dmen can become an elite #2 guy.
