Player Discussion Tyler Kleven (D) at 44th Overall (Sens traded up)

[Dionysus]

Had two really nice outlet bank passes today. One led to the Mac goal, and the second sprung Bath who drew a tripping penalty.

He’s showing some top 4 level skills, love seeing it!

Was also solid in his own zone. Closed on guys and used his size to pin players on the boards allowing a teammate to grab the puck.

That UND training, looking really good

Was at the game. Noticed he is getting more comfortable the game does still feel like it is going 1000mph around him but I think he will find a play style that will let him play around that speed by always prioritizing being in the right position/spot. Did notice one/two shifts where he was down too deep in the oZone and he couldn't skate back to the point in time and a forward had to cover for him.

Maybe him and JBD will find some chemistry. JBD plays a smoother game than Hamonic and has better mobility. Keep the NoDak connection going.

I was always a bit of a Brannstrom fan myself but you can clearly see what Klevin brings to the game. He's physical. He's already stopped a few guys dead in their tracks on the boards. He's going to be good. He needs a bit more learning but breaking in a young D is something the other 31 teams are doing too.

I've been impressed with his play with the puck when pressured by a forechecker, on more than a couple occasions he's made a quick move to evade and give himself enough space to make a pass up ice and start the transition

He's made the odd mistake with his DZ coverage but I like how he's defending the rush, he's going to be a stud imo.

Looking good. Keep it up klev.

Such a tough take.

And you were at the game?

Such a tough take.

And you were at the game?

Can’t remember were you that little troll I called out for likely being miserable in real life a few years ago? Glad I still I live in your head
