How good are you if you don't excel at either? Hopefully he plays his way into those roles but I can't justify taking Rasmus or gio off the pp right now.

I don't think anyone is predicting he turns into Hedman. But "heading into Jaybo territory" would mean that he is a dman who eventually plays over 1200 NHL games, with overall 400 NHL points, and consistently being amongst team leaders in TOI while drawing amongst the toughest assignments.
And was a key part of a cup.
So if that's Jaybo territory - boy I'll take that!
