seems to be able to keep up with liljegren while skating backwards, he eases up at the end but if that was an opponent he would have run him straight into the boards. Kept lil to the outside pretty easily though
Liljegren walked around him pretty easily there
Well, he might be the best skater in the draft.

this, he was a 0.59 PPG player in his 1st ohl season and only season on NA ice. People see a giant and assume he cant skate, those guys are middelton and Mattinen. Middelton is a career 0.18 ppg in 3 ohl seasons, Mattinen 0.17PPG in 2 seasons, these guys are pylons and alot of the best shutdown D put up closer to Rasanen's #'s than those 2 before people come at me with but they are shut down D. For instance little offence Dman Chris Tanev was a 0.68PPG in the NCAA
Middleton's issue is not skating Walshy
It's his puck skills that let him down but he's bloody good defensively though I'll give him that
ok, if his puck skills are that bad he is still really a nothing prospect. if he cant handle the puck then he wont be in a babcock team. Anyway my overall point is Rasanen is on another level form those 2 and likely gordeev. I really like greenway too
if thats a game, timoth is buried by the tsn/Adidas sign. Speed seemed good from both guys, you could tell that ras wanted to throw the body there though.
I can't help you
Middleton just has to make the nice quick out let passes and play like he is 6'7" 250lbs, all will be good.
He didn't have the gap whatsoever. There's no way he makes up that ground to make a hit there.
You don't need to
I didn't watch one clip and come up with the hottest of takes
