I thought he looked more dynamic than Faber in college in some games and thought he might be a good mid pair guy, but I was really disappointed with his offensive game his first year. He looked like an in-between type of player who might just be a bottom pair guy. It’s great to see him learn how to use his skating and puck skills to produce points… if he can up his intensity/physicality on the defensive side he might be a good #2.
Now if we can get Minty to show what he did last year… and if Zell can learn to defend like a Spurgeon… we might have three #2 dmen…. It’s going to be interesting who takes the offensive lead.. you would think it should be Zellweger and Lacombe has taken the lead. Minty was and offensive machine but that ability has been muted with him being more defensive.
