Yep, no guarantees. But you should make a point of catching him at the WJCs this year - he's a pleasure to watch, and I haven't liked one of our prospects this much since Letang came up through the ranks (though obviously a very different style player).
In the playoffs last year we would've killed for exactly the sort of defenseman he projects to be. Composed, competitive, efficient, and adds nasty as required.
I wouldn't be surprised if he followed in Letang's footsteps and was named Canada's captain this year, either.
