He's been fine IMO. Was fine in his first 5 games back to junior, and fine in his 5 games at the WJC.

Always tough to gauge when a guy is hurt for a long period of time, and then only plays 5 games before having to adjust again and go play another 5 games for a new team against the best in your age group.

Overall he generally looks good IMO.

Maybe you wince a bit at not taking Sandin-Pelikka who went one spot later and is having a historical year in Sweden for a d-man his age...but I'm not sold on him either TBH. And I'd take him over Barlow, Moore, Sale, Stramel, and Bonk at this point who were the next 5 forwards taken. ASP and Perreault might be the ones that maybe you regret not taking but I think too early to say really at this point. It seems like a fine pick still.
