When you hear him talk, he also mentions that his size and length of his stick gives him a natural advantage at defending and puck protection, so he knows what strengths he needs to play to. He talks about liking to help the defensemen. Some scouts say he has untapped skill as well. Plus, he isn't afraid to drop them.
He could end up being a great shut down and PK guy, but he also produced OK at lower levels.
