i agree. his stats fell off this year due to playing on a very poor team, but he might be a sleeper. Big kid who can skate and plays tough.

Make this kid a winger (or teach him how to play D if he isn't Phaneuf-ish)

THN had him in the 2nd round. He really fell. Based on their write-up, sounds like he has all the tools, but is el stupido.

I think it's more a matter of teaching and having a willing student. Probably a lot of young offensively gifted players have been able to get away without learning the defensive side of the game. Brodie had to go through this process and came out on the right side.

The thing is he has talent and you can't teach that.

After reading about this guy, like the pick. Potential first rounder one year ago? Likely his poor season has more to do with his team. That goal total fir a d-man is exciting.

Can't remember the exact words but I believe the Button was implying the reason that Roy had a bad season was Brandon was a poor team and that when Pulock got injured Roy tried to do too much.

Don't know about that, he went from a consensus first round guy to a 5th round pick for a reason.

5th rounder with 1st round potential you take the chance and run with it and hope the kid can get it straight between the ears.

I must say that in his highlights he reminded me of Lucic when he's on his game. Could be a power forward as much as a PP specialist. Massive shot!
