I assume like most young defensemen he'll have his peaks and valleys. But even during a down-period he hasn't been a problem. Could definitely be better but it's a good sign that when he's not playing well things are still pretty OK.
I think down the line he becomes kind of a super-Mayfield for us
unrelated edit: I'm liking Aho's game a little more. He's clearly always going to be a defensive liability but he's playing well in the offensive zone. He's probably not an ideal long-term solution but that's a good dynamic to have on the 3rd pair as long as they can mitigate the level of talent he's out there against

I agree about Aho. He'll have his brutal moments for sure...we all know what his flaws and limitations are. But he's showing he has a thing or two to contribute offensively. Really, there aren't many third-pair d-men around who aren't liabilities to some degree, and at least Aho has a decent attribute beyond just killing time until the other pairs are rested.
I fully expect to regret typing this after two or three games
