Player Type Keywords: Heavy Hitter, Physical Defenseman

There are physical defenders, and then there are players like Misskey. Enter his space, expect to pay the price. A strong defensive game supports all that physicality. Misskey steadily angles attacks before looking for contact, times poke checks just as opponents expose the puck, and forces attacks to turn into ones along the boards.

The Athletic

Tier: Projected to play NHL games

Skating: Below NHL average
Puck skills: Below NHL average
Hockey sense: NHL average
Compete: Above NHL average
Shot: Above NHL average

Analysis: Misskey played a ton of minutes for Victoria this season and has progressed well since being picked in the third round in his WHL Bantam Draft. He is a tall right-shot defenseman who can move pucks well enough. I don’t think he’s a standout with the puck, but he sees the ice well and can make some tough plays. Misskey also has a hard point shot he can generate offense from. His skating is heavy and is his main problem in his NHL projection. He does compete quite hard and has a lot of physical play in his game which makes me think he has a real chance to overcome his lack of mobility and get NHL games.

I can like Sharks picks on the other teams. Often when I go to a game against a team with a Shark prospect I'll end up wearing a Sharks jersey instead of one of my Giants ones.

Oh I just looked and we also drafted the Giants d-man so you're probably happy either way!
