He is a power play specialist, with great offensive ability. He makes clean cut passes, and is good on the break out. He is long and lanky and can use his stick well. His shot is not heavy, but he can aim it well, and often looks for re directions. However he has the tendency of doing bad pinches that leads to odd man rushes. He is a little bit hesitant to play physical. Overall he is very good offensively, and could use some work on defense. He really wasn't on anybodies radar, now I could see him going in the 4th round.
Another German from the Q, San Jose?

If he keeps up this production at his size I can't see him making it through the 3rd round, this is a really weak draft for defensmen.He is a power play specialist, with great offensive ability.

Right handed, offensive D with a solid frame and named Leon. Hope the Oilers take a closer look.
He's German too.

He's on people's radar, looking like a 4th to 5th round possibility. He's a Schultz/Ehrhoff type of player, offensive minded, but not so defensively gifted.

Good value, I've heard his skating needs work. Glad we picked a project with offensive skills and instincts.
Was one of my targets i hoped Rangers would go after in the 2nd half of the draft, good pick imo.

i want the bartkowski thread back
One of the better value picks in the draft.
Very confident with the puck through the neutral zone. The way he rushed the puck reminds me of Troy Stecher.
Can't believe we picked Gunnarsson over this guy.

Posting great stats in his 3rd QMJHL season for Cape Breton this year 31 pts in 29 games thus far, wonder if the Jets might have gotten a steal.

There has been some suggestion the Jets revamped how they evaluate D-men after the Logan Stanley pick in 2016, if so it seems to be working with Gawenke looking like one of a couple late (ish) round picks currently getting good reviews.
