Re: Boston University 2019-2020
Slick skating puck moving defensemen often impress with their breakouts - they get a lot of momentum and it's easier to skate around guys and look good. I don't think that necessarily translates to effective play down low in the offensive zone on a regular basis. Even on his tying assist on Saturday, he was pinching in from the point due to the situation, so he had the speed to get free enough coming out of the corner to hit Curry for the goal. I would be hesitant to try him at Forward. I would rather he learn how to play better in his own end and keep the benefit of what he brings to the breakout, Power Play, etc. Not everyone will turn into Matt Grzelcyk, but if he can learn to play well enough in his own end like Farrance, he could be a huge asset for the next 2-3 years.
