His stats are being seriously padded playing for such a dominant team but I think he has a very good shot at being an NHL d-man he's a big kid, he handles the puck very well and has a good shot (that he doesn't use). He will not be a 1st pairing guy but there's a chance he could work his way into 2nd unit time if things pan out.
I'm expecting a slow progression into the NHL followed by a slow progression towards the 20-25 point range. If a guy like this hold value in your league (he does in mine) then by all means stash him and be patient. If an upside like that does nothing for you then move on.
