I guess it depends what you mean by elite ...

My expectations of him have grown a lot in this season, first by his play in the AHL, and then by his early season NHL work. He hat a rut, then took off again when Bouwemeester was traded.

If elite means Norris finalist then probably not. (there are only 3)
If elite means first or second all star teams then probably not (there are only 4)
If elite means top pairing defenseman then yeah I think he will be (there are 60)
