I don't see him as an offensive Dman (never really did) going forward but he will be a solid 3/4 guy there for years. One of those guys who will be a better real-life player than a fantasy asset.
I know he'll never be Burns, but what are the odds he is a later bloomer and turns into a decent multi-cat dman?

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
in leagues that count blocks, he'll be valuable, but otherwise, no, he won't put up that many points. he'll be a very valuable nhler, but behind jones and werenski, his job is as a shut down dman.
i dont see it. 20-30 pt d man at best i believe
I agree with the above posters. There's been hardly an inkling of some untapped offense in his game at the pro level. Deep leagues with diverse cats? Sure. I doubt he will ever be impactful in pts leagues.
Highly unlikely

At the beginning of this season, I'd have put the odds at maybe 33%. With how he's played this season, I'd say it's barely half that now. He's still only 23, but at this point the odds get cut further in half with each passing season, making the chances less and less likely over time.
