I pop in time to time on every thread but good observationWtf is this? Give the hyperbole a rest.
Ironic how you popped back up in the Wolves thread the minute Musty was injured.

Playing D in the OHL/CHL isn’t easy for any 17/17 year old. I agree with your assessment this far but I will say he is making the necessary adjustments and I find he is less noticeable and more reliable in his own end. I’ve seen flashes of high offence ability were he can lead and join a rush. I will predict once his comfort level and confidence continues to grow you will say a very good two way DMan..What are people's thoughts on D, Nolan Jackson?
I saw him play a couple games last season & thought he looked great - was very high on him coming into the season.
Early in the season I thought he was playing good "safe" hockey and didn't stand out in any way - typically a good sign for a young defensemen not making mistakes.
In the games I've seen recently I think he has struggled.
He had a couple of tough weeks but once he got back into the lineup from being a healthy scratch he’s been much better in all zones.What are people's thoughts on D, Nolan Jackson?

He can wheel for sure, it's more about learning when to go and when not to. Seen a few ill advised pinches.The more I watch Bionda the more I see him being a real stud. May be time to give him the green light on some shifts, this kid can wheel. What are your thoughts
I see obvious potential...But he's one kid I don't think you can "give the green light" He's very irresponsible still coming back. I at times feel bad for his d partner (lately I think it's been Jackson). At times I've seen 1 Dman back under pressure and Blonda is still just getting through the Neutral Zone... Especially against good forechecking teams. It's not his puck skills that are lacking simply his defensive responsibilities. I don't even mind his Defensive game when he's in position... but that is only 75% of the time...the other 25% you just have to hope Delic or Henderson are on the ice to back check. IMO of courseThe more I watch Bionda the more I see him being a real stud. May be time to give him the green light on some shifts, this kid can wheel. What are your thoughts
