All seems to fit with what the front office people provided in the earlier write-up on him. It's not a positive, but I am more encouraged that he is struggling with processing the game at the KHL level, as opposed to being in junior and having these issues. At least he is already getting reps in a league where the speed is closer to what he'd see in the NHL. They're just taking flyers on as many big defensemen as they can get their hands on. If one of Bahl, Okhotyuk, Misyul or Shak hits as a legitimate top 4 guy I think they'd consider it a win.

He kind of reminds me of Gelinas... kind of raw and lack of hockey sense and IQ. I'm not sure that is something that can be learned over time. Even it is something you can learn, what is the probability of it happening with him? Seems like a risk not worth taking at pick #20.
