Brandon Carlo was drafted this year in the second round, and apparently we all have a lot of faith in him. He was the second-highest scoring defenseman on his team last year, the Tri-City Americans of the WHL. This puts him at about 60th in the whole WHL for defenseman scoring, either by rate or by totals. Kirk Luedeke says "Brandon Carlo is a huge (6-5) and mobile rearguard who is a better shutdown guy than offensive producer."
For me, personally, that sort of description sort of makes me want to run screaming the other direction, but I've tempered that with the NHL Scouting profiles of him.
