So pumped about our defense going forward
Prospect of Interest: Jake Sanderson makes case for top defenceman
“He's got all the requisite skills: he can make the good first pass out of his zone, he's got a good game at the offensive blue line and when it comes to defending, he competes,” said Marr.
Marr said when his team at Central Scouting was meeting to compile the final list, one of the questions that pushed Sanderson up the rankings was, “If you had to build a team around one of these players, which would you want that to be?”
“Jake was one of the more consistent guys that a lot of guys, feet to the fire, when you're talking about putting a team together, you'd like to build around this guy,” he said.
“You know what you're getting: he's a solid player that's going to generate results, be a leader and just bring that character and that presence to which you can make other players around him better and make your team better.”
