Wanted to get your opinions on the NHL future for Safronov. I thought his stock had dropped quite a bit when traded by Atlanta but his numbers with Milwaukee look pretty good.

Is he now looking like he will live up to his potential of a #1 or #2 NHL defenseman?

Comments?
Thanks!

I've heard good and bad things about safronov, but the man to ask is a guy on here that goes by the username "Eriks" on here.

as of now...he's not looking to be a top pairing defenseman. he has great nights...and he has terrible nights. time will tell, though. he's a little bit buried in the depth chart right now, especially with some fresh faces like Weber, Suter, Klein, Stehlik and Sulzer on the horizon.
