“We require, as a team, proper levels of pugnacity, testosterone, truculence and belligerence. That’s how our teams play."

Mayes is a hard-hitting, aggressive defender who makes the occasional play on the breakout. He brings a bit of rush defence value, off-puck threat elimination, retrieval skill, and a lot of violence. If he can’t win the positioning battle, he still overpowers opponents and traps them along the boards. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide

Like I say, guys like Mayes aren't glamorous but a system can't produce a Joel Edmundson one day without a prospect like this being added to the system on draft day.
