Agree that we are overrating prospects but one thing with D-men is they are very hard to project and do tend to really break out once they hit 24/25.
At 22 Keith was an AHL d-man and if anybody at that time projected him as being a top pairing, Norris candidate, Olympian, in 2010 they would have been laughed at.
For example look at his rating in the 2004 HF organization prospect rankings.
