Thanks for a deeper look, whats holding him back? i only saw him in his few NHL games and all i could see that was glaring was that his foot speed was keeping him behind the play. Seemed like he had a sense of defensive positioning just wasn't ready for the speed of the NHL. So i thought if he worked on his skating the rest of his game was going to fall into place.
i will still hold out hope, 23 isnt too old for a defensive prospect. pretty sure Girardi didnt make it to the show until he was 24, but i could be wrong. ive gotta look that up.
edit: he was 22 my mistake
