I think he'll be a low-30s player. His fantasy value lies in his hits, or his hits/points combination. I'm not seeing 40+ though in his future
Will we ever see any offensive production from this guy? Still young (23) but he looks like he'll be a solid NHL defenceman, a lot of hits/bs/pims - but do you think we'll ever see any decent point totals from him, say 35 points?
Is he Brent Seabrook or is he Bryan Allen?

Points-only league he will have minimal value. Multi-cat leagues he has very good value. I also agree with the 30 point range.
He'd be a very nice asset in multi-cat leagues if he can get to those offensive numbers....I've had my eye on him for a while now and have been waiting to see if he can muster enough offence to take that next step into fantasy relevancy (in most formats, anyhow). Nice to see you think he's got 30+ in him.

Looking back on his history his WHL-high was 14 points before his breakout 59-point season. That has to be kept in mind, not just the year where he was older than most of his opponents. Then his two AHL seasons were at a 30-point clip. I see him settling around there during his NHL career. 25-30 most years, maybe 35 in an ideal situation.
