In his comments today Jim Benning said the team was investigating signing an NCAA free agent defenceman, adding that they'd had some interviews already. Any thoughts on the possibilities? Speculation about who the 'Nucks might be interested in?
Here are a few that are mentioned on lastwordonhockey.com (I make no claim about their reliability):
Joe Duszak Right Defence, Mercyhurst U. 5'10"185 lbs, Junior
Here are a few that are mentioned on lastwordonhockey.com (I make no claim about their reliability):
Joe Duszak Right Defence, Mercyhurst U. 5'10"185 lbs, Junior
"He is strong on the puck, and his stickhandling allows him to transition and lead the rush. Duszak is also a very good passer who can start the breakout or can quarterback the power play. "
Mattias Goransson, Left Defence, UMass-Lowell, 6’3″ 205 lbs, Junior
"The 23-year-old defenceman has four goals and 18 points in 32 games this season. The Swedish defender is known for his work in his own end. He has very good size and pairs it with strong skating ability."
Grant Hutton (no relation, I think), Right Defence, Miami of Ohio, 6’3″ 204 lbs, Senior
"Hutton has put up six goals and 17 points in 32 games this season while playing in all situations and taking on the toughest matchups for Miami of Ohio. Hutton is a mobile defender with good speed in both directions. "
Brady Keeper, Right Defence, University of Maine, 6’2″ 194 lbs, Sophomore
"Keeper has put up five goals and 18 points in 33 games this season. Just a sophomore, he could stay in school if the offers are not good enough to knock his socks off. He has really improved his discipline this year, taking half as many penalty minutes as he did as a freshman. However, Keeper is still very physical in the defensive end of the ice and can still be even more disciplined as he does have 40 penalty minutes."
Cam Lee, Left Defence, Western Michigan, 6’0” 190 lbs, Junior
"Lee has scored seven goals and 23 points in 32 games this season. He has always been strong offensively, with a strong shot from the point. Lee understands how to keep his shot low and get it on the net, allowing teammates to get tips and rebounds. He also uses good lateral agility to walk the line and create shooting and passing lanes. "
Alec McCrea, Right Defence, Cornell, 6’3″ 212 lbs, Senior
"McCrea has three goals and seven points in 29 games this season. However, he is best known for his work in the defensive zone. A big defenceman with a long stick, he positions himself well and cuts down passing and shooting lanes. He is a very good skater, and his excellent agility and quick feet help him to keep attackers in front of him, and force them to the outside. "
