He could become a good shutdown guy in the future, but he lacks a meanness to his game. I certainly wouldn't trade our 1st this year or next year for him.

Agreed...I found an article that really changed my view of him. Take it with a grain of salt as it comes from ############ but it shows how he's not developing as initially hoped. He's also been having a horrible Memorial Cup, getting burned regularly for critical goals. I'd still like to have him if we're thinking he may be a 3/4 defenceman (and giving up assets accordingly) but I definitely wouldn't want to trade our first rounder next year for him!
