I realize we just picked up a few D guys and this is not a shiny new toy but this toy is almost ready for the bigs. He's one of those guys you just don't notice a lot which is really a sign of a good defender.
Limited upside. He's probably a 5/6 defender at the NHL level, #4 at best. That likely isn't as valuable of an asset as a clear top 6 forward, top 4 defenseman or a starting goalie. And there's guys with the upside left to be those kinds of players (Kylington, Andersson, McDonald, Granlund, Klimchuk).

He's a good prospect.
