How good is he? @dyldude @Caser @czech

How good is he? @dyldude @Caser @czech

Yet to be blown away in any viewing. Looks like a pure puck moving defenseman in every game I've seen with Tolpar and that didn't particularly stand out compared to the rest of their D-core. Heavy reliance on his raw speed to make things happen and disappears when he doesn't have the runway to rush up the ice or make a quick cut to make a defensive play. Tends to lack security of the puck when carrying it, also. Not seeing a player worth a pick so far.

Late rounds.

I see he has played and put up a few points in the VHL. EP has him in their top 100 and Mckeens has him at #54.

Could he be someone on the rise?

He’s in the top 100 for the consolidated rankings on EP, not the EP ranking itself. Doesn’t look like a riser to me, struggles to defend against pace and has been very vanilla with the puck this year. Seems like a 4th-5th rounder.

Sorry I meant FC Hockey, not EP.... appreciate your insights though, either way.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

I’m not a big fan of his, agree with Dylan. Doesn’t control the game with the puck very well and often looks overwhelmed. His profile makes him interesting but not someone I look at until around pick 120.
