Shane Malloy

He can run a number one power play, but he doesn't have to.

So it's an advantage because Zee Booyam does that.

So he can move into running the quarterback for the second unit.

That means he's also first unit penalty kill.

And he's going to match up defensively and be able to insulate Zee Booyam.

And one of the great things about Chase Reed is, look, he's a big kid.

He's like 6'2.5".

He's going to be well over 200 pounds.

He's a right-handed shot.

The great thing about him is his mobility.

He is an excellent skater.

Not just in a straight line, but four-way mobility.

And that, along with Zee Bullion, it's going to be a really... Along with Willender.

You're going to have three skaters back there who are top-end, elite-level skaters.

And that makes it so problematic for the forwards having to play against you.

So...

That's a potential scenario.

If San Jose decides they can't not take the forward and whichever one's left over, and they'll find another way to get a defenseman later on, not only in the draft, but also with the roster, then Vancouver's laughing to get Chase Reed.

No, no.

I think he's a number one defenseman.
