P-O Joseph

[Dover]

Where will you rank Joseph vs the other defencemen of this year’s draft? For points only, will rep where i can.

This year?? Buried behind Letang. But he’s one year - or one injury :-( from breaking out. I do see Joseph as the next PP1 quarterback for the Pens.

This. I am very high on him. As far as ranking him with current year D prospects, I would say that the top couple probably have a higher ceiling, but their paths are much further away.

I think Joesph will be a 40-50 pt dman in the next 2 to 3 years and should play well in multicat.

With the right opportunity he can be a 40 point guy. Thing is the Pens up front aren't getting any younger so the talent he will be playing with in a couple of years could be very green. Also, when given the opportunity to prove himself, he has to be ready. As far as a comparison between him and some D from this years draft, Hughes, Power and Clarke seem like they are better but they are a bit behind PO in development. Although it won't take those guys long to make an impact on their respective teams when the time comes. I hope PO can get it together soon, he looks very promising. Good luck.
