Carlo made Kevan Miller look like a somewhat competent defenseman tonight. That's a great sign for the kid.The defense (!!!) and goaltending have stabilized this season. If they can just figure out how to put the puck in the net, they may have something.
(Did not expect to be saying something like that 24 games in)
I really like Carlo - he seems to have the potential to do it all on the defensive side. He's good positionally, physical and moves the puck out of his own end well. Not sure how much offensive upside he has. His shot seems decent and he skates well, but he's never flashed any plus skills like Hamilton or Krug. Is his upside peak Seidenberg?Carlo made Kevan Miller look like a somewhat competent defenseman tonight. That's a great sign for the kid.

Outside of his first game, I've been impressed with Kevan Miller. And the advanced metrics back that up. When Chara comes back, they should be even better.Carlo made Kevan Miller look like a somewhat competent defenseman tonight. That's a great sign for the kid.
