I really think he needs to go to Laval because, for me, for now, he's a power-play specialist at a higher level, but that's it. You analyze his game, the guy makes a lot of mistakes, often gets outmaneuvered, struggles to win puck battles, and his backward skating isn't refined enough to defend in a league that's extremely fast and where players are extremely strong.
In my opinion, if you put him in the NHL right now, he's going to get outmaneuvered quite a bit. He needs to improve his physical strength, his backward skating, and become a more complete defenseman. For now, if he played for the Canadiens, I would only play him on the power play. - Simon Boisvert
