        I don't think BU would want him to put on that much weight
either. If he weighed 250, he would be the slowest defenseman in the
history of hockey!I was under the impression that he was around 170. He
has to add some muscle and weight, or else he will get pushed around like
he did in the Olympic Festival. He definelty has the skills and hockey
sense to develop into an outstanding defenseman.
