To me, he's a "poor man's" version of Fox. Same kind of skill set and also looks like he's one of those "more brains than brawn" type defenders. Matched up with Schneider, I think he can play his game and focus on what it looks like what he's cut out for. He looked fairly decent on the PP, but again that was against a lot of AHL players.
I'm not sure Josh...I think I have to see it with my own eyes and get a better feel for how he's going fit in.
As for Hajek; I wanted him to be "The guy", especially for what we gave up in that trade. I just don't know if maybe I set the bar too high in my own mind. He's certainly not a terrible player, but I agree with you with the fact that his play hasn't exactly lit the world on fire.
He may be a good asset/bargaining chip to be spent at the deadline though. We'll see how it goes!
