This is what Bader has to say about the prospect. The historical data doesn't predict good things.

I'm a big fan of NHLe and Bader's model...but it will never profile defensive d-men well.
His points aren't that different than guys like Pelech, Manson, Cernak, etc at the same age.
But in order to make the NHL like those guys did with low production you need to be elite defensively, like Chris Tanev elite defensively, and like the guys above.
So if he can become an elite defender then he has a chance to be an NHLer, if he's a good defender, he's likely still not an NHLer since he won't be well rounded enough.
