O'Brien seemed to play a nice simple game which was expected for his 1st time playing in our system. He seemed like he likes to play the body, so I hope we can keep him away from Rammer.
He has said that he liked coming to a team that will allow him to jump in and pinch as this is more his type of game.
If he brings a little offense to his play while bringing the grit on the blue line that makes an offensive player shy away from him then he is just what we needed. However everyone has got to remember he is still only 23yoa and a good NHL defenseman does not hit his prime until around the ripe old age of 27.
