In his limited minutes in Pittsburgh, that's literally all he seemed to bring. Wasn't that good defensively and was pretty bad at moving the puck.Size and physicality mostly.
Can he skate? We seem to do well with big dumb dudes who can skate.In his limited minutes in Pittsburgh, that's literally all he seemed to bring. Wasn't that good defensively and was pretty bad at moving the puck.
Granted, Colorado seems to be able to turn these guys into useful #6/7 D lately, so who knows. But on paper, he doesn't bring all that much to the table other than "will hit and fight".
There’s fans on this site, who rip players like him because they don’t have the visible speed or a physical trait that stands out, but coaches like the basics, much more than players who make you wanna pull your hair out. Especially playing (limited minutes) on a bottom pairing or being your 7th Dman.
He does the basics well enough that coaches will trust him to make good decisions, over players who are more physically gifted, but can’t make it through a period without making bad decisions.
If you can’t understand why a team claims a Ludvig over a Bear, you wouldn’t get very far coaching or managing a hockey team at any level.
