I'm not sure what more you expect out of the guy before realizing he could (and probably will) be the next Chris Pronger. This guy is a stud. You watch him and he was probably Boston's best dman last year as a 21 year old. It was not Boston's other D making him look good, it went both ways.

Pretty bold comparison, Pronger is one of the best defenseman to ever play the game. He's the only D to win the Hart since Orr. He racked up about triple the amount of penalty minutes per season. Being 6'5" and putting up 40 points doesn't make you the next Pronger.
