Players with these attributes tend to succeed in the NHL. He's small, but he's not overly physical anyways.
I wouldn't be surprised if he goes way higher than projected. I also wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being a steal.

I think Mackie Samoskevich is in that same boat, and I wouldn't be surprised to see one, or both of these guys in the first. To a lesser degree, I think Red Savage will be a big riser as well. Lots of first-rate defensemen in the USHL that will surprise too, methinks.
