There was also somebody who posted some things a rival GM said about our draft picks last summer, and he hinted that a few of the kids we picked had attitude problems. Wonder if that was him?

I don’t think he is wrong though. He should play to his strengths and the team he plays for should help with him with the correct type of partner on his D pairing. He needs to be able to play defense at the NHL level but I’d much rather he presses all out on his offensive skills rather than forcing him into being a crappy two way guy. It would be nice if he is a high level two way D but that’s his highest ceiling and can’t bank on it.
