I gotta say, I never knew there were so many professional scouts on CP! So many people are confident that he won't become this and will become that and won't be able to achieve this blah blah.
While the points thing is scary, I wouldn't go as far as to project the ceiling for a defenceman who we just drafted. I like the signing, because physically, this guy is ridiculous for his age. If he has any speed/hockey sense/puck skills, then there is definitely the possibility of him becoming an NHLer.
For anyone who says a 6'7 ~250 lb of pure muscle defenceman won't be able to physically dominate the NHL needs a reality check.
