He's a 6'4, 206 pound defensemen that is a superior athlete and extremely physically gifted with superstar potential. He's already producing at an elite level and his development is further along than every other prospect in the draft, expect one (Nathan MacKinnon). He posses tremendous skating ability, and has a unique combination of size and quickness that will translate well at the NHL level. Not only is he great at carrying the puck and leading the rush, he complete erases dudes with his hitting ability.

He currently has 10 points in his last 7 games for the Portland Winterhawks (WHL, junior hockey) and he's clearly his teams best player, completely dominant in the game at times. He'll be most likely captaining the US team for the World Junior Hockey Championship in a few weeks, so if anyone is interested in seeing him, you'll get see some good hockey there.

If he's picked first overall, he'll be the first African-American hockey player to be drafted with the number one pick :obama:

Pretty interesting piece here with Popeye talking about him getting into hockey, despite his basketball background and claims that Seth can actually hoop (shoot well, handle, dunk) :ehh:
