Known really well for.

So he's he can he can really manipulate the game around him.

He can slow things down, speed things up.

And he he is certainly not a player who's afraid of inviting pressure onto himself.

So he'll carry the puck and then he'll find the person who, you know, if they double-team him, he'll find the person who's open and they'll score.

So he is he is certainly a puck-dominant NHL defenseman.

There's a lot of upside here, especially when you think that.

He was drafted by Chicago.

He'll get the chance to maybe eventually play with Connor Bedard.

Uh, you know, uh they'll they'll try the Bowen Bryram experiment for a little bit.

I think that'll work out pretty well, by the way.

But uh by the time Xavier Vilnev is ready to be in the NHL, we'll say probably two or three years from now, uh, after he spends some time in college and and gets stronger and works on some of those translatable skills, I think we could be looking at a at a at an upside of Elaine Hudson.

And they create an an average draft position for all these players.

And Villnov is going like fifteen, sixteen.
