Alex Vlasic: The next great matchup defenseman

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

This kid is really unbelievable. Size, power, skating, smarts, and a blossoming offensive game. The ceiling on this guy is incredible - I encourage any fans of good defensive hockey to watch some hawks games. He's the team's best player more often than you'd expect, and has become surprisingly active in the offensive zone, especially late in games when they need a goal.

Mark my words - Alex Vlasic is going to be an absolute superstar, and doesn't get nearly enough attention. He should be on every best on best US roster for the next 10+ years.

Chicago's got a bright future on the blue line.

The real deal by definition

And yet neither him or his cousin have any stake in the pickle empire.

I remember being blown away at times last season by his defense. So far this season I’m equally blown away by the improvements I see with his offense. Very high ceiling IMO. Wasn’t expecting him to become this dangerous offensively to go along with the size/defense. He’s exceeded all expectations thus far.
