Guys when you draft a defenseman in top 10 or 12 he has to have offensive uppercut

An offensive uppercut in a tussle should produce 10 to 25 stitches at least and this kid will avg

2 majors and 10 fights WHEN he makes it to NHL.

Holy crap.

Aside from the nuking of the guys he was fighting, I'm impressed with his footwork and balance, particularly in the first clip.

I realize that in the first clip he was fighting a guy smaller than him (describing most players here) but so stable and centered on his skates through the whole fight. Like he was fighting in a ring rather than on the ice.

I'm really hopeful for this kid. Between him and Hagg, we may have had a very good draft even if the other picks don't amount to much.

The kid knows how to "finish" in one way - putting an ass whuppin' on his opponent. I still like the pick and to think this kid is still only 17... he is a very good skater and has a lot of potential. I am just not sure what people are hating this pick.
