RD Jack Glover - USNDTP, USHL (2014, 69th overall, Winnipeg)

[Misfire Puck]

Here's FC's profile of him:

Glover is an impressive two-way defenseman who has good overall mobility. He's always aware in all three zones and defends with a physical edge, using his frame to separate pucks and size to clear the crease. He moves the puck well and has a good outlet pass.

6'3'' and 192 lbs. 1+13 in 25 games.

What do you guys think of him? Where is this kid supposed to go?

I have seen him go in the first round in multiple mock drafts and the draft isn't very deep in highly talented defenders, so he might go higher than his talent is.

Anyways I really hope Tampa goes after him, he would be a perfect addition to our prospect pool.

College route? Where's he going and who owns his CHL rights?

Anywhere from 14-25 in the first round.

College route? Where's he going and who owns his CHL rights?

Glover's committed to Minnesota/NCAA in 2014-15 and his CHL rights are owned by Portland/WHL.

Shades of Faulk? More offense oriented?

Another silky smooth skating defenseman from Minnesota

Here's the RLR draft spotlight on Glover from Sep '13. They noted his four-way skating ability and his puckhandling.

 

[LastWordArmy]

A solid two way defensive prospect with decent skating ability that has done well for himself with the US Development program. He also has a very good hockey IQ, always a big plus for a defenceman. Top Shelf Prospects considers him to be the 32nd best prospect in the 2014 NHL Draft.

Needs to improve his decision making by light years. Not ranked in the DraftBuzz top 120. Currently a big body without NHL game.

 

[DKQ]

I liked him at the end of the first round coming into the year, but he hasn't made much of a progression. Skates well and can use his frame effectively, but I'd like to see him develop a standout trait other that just his skating in order for him to be considered a top prospect (this was my gripe with Skjei a few years ago as well). I still think he goes early in the second however

"Eldon MacDonald, THW: A few words on Jack Glover:

The Fourth Man – Jack is that offensive defenseman who commands time on the power play and is that fourth man on offense when it is even strength.
Offense – Has the skating ability to be effective on the rush, has the creativity and hands to make his passes very effective, has an effective wrister with a nice trigger and, oh, does he love to make those tapers.
Defense – Reasonably physical, will use his body, calm when the temperature is turned up, good stick.
Improvements to make – On offense, Jack could bulk up his slap shot to be more dangerous in power play situations. He also could improve his decision making in potential pinching situations. On defense, experience will likely cause any shortcomings in his gap control to just go away. Overall, like most players his age, a little more weight and strength to his lanky frame would likely result in major benefits on the ice.
