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.
I don't have Baders cards for Manson or Cernak or Pelech, but it looks like he's profiling like Jake Boltmann rather than any of those guys. He's definitely a tier below.
