Steven Ellis

Very smart.

Not many flaws in his game.

You look at Keaton Verhoff, 17 years old, goes to the NCAA, played close to 18 minutes a night every night.

Yeah, did he have some growing pains at the end of the season?

Sure.

But was it a 17-year-old going, pushing himself hard, playing on a top team, learning from quality players, and taking time away from older, more experienced guys?

No.

Yeah.

So there's a lot of value there too.

I've I'm a big Albert Smith's fan.

I know that at this point, probably more of a second pairing defenseman, but a guy that's just going to be really difficult to play against.

I also love his, his sense of humor when he was asked at the world juniors, who he likes to model his game after he's like, nobody, I don't like anybody.

I'm like, you know what?

Sure.

I like it.

And then there's Carson Carl's.

Dude, like, like picks up cows in his free time.

Like this guy is built like a tank.

If you learned how to use his pure strength to his advantage, kind of like someone like a Verhoff or a Smith, he'd be terrifying.

So I like I really like the D in this class because there's also Daxon Rudolph, another guy that's been very good about to play.
