So what do you get with Keegan, a defensive defenseman capable of shutting down the other teams top line, excelling on the penalty kill and playing strong positional hockey. He also has a nice shot, decent skating, a good first pass and plays with the hockey acumen you would expect from someone with a last name of Lowe. He still is reed-thin and needs to bulk up more than a little but somehow those are issues you are not too worried about. NHL Central Scouting has him fourth round but I am betting that at least one team (Edmonton or otherwise) will step up to the podium and call out the name of Lowe before the third round has ended.
