Solid, reliable 6th D. Babs can put him out there for 14-15 minutes a night and you aren't worried about him making irresponsible plays on a consistent basis or cringing whenever he's on the ice like other bottom pairing guys the Leafs have had in the past. Babs liked him right from the jump, which is a great sign and he seems to be gaining Babs' trust more and more as the season progresses.

Oz is a 26 year-old NHL rookie, so while he's still getting acclimated to North American ice/playing style, it's not like he doesn't know what he's doing out there.

Oz seems to be getting more comfortable each game and we'll start to see more of what he can do as his confidence grows. As of right right, we're starting to see glimpses of why the Leafs were so high on him.
