Anyone know anything about him?
Big Guy only 23, may be a good stay at home D to clear the front of the net.
I was under the impression he was more of an offensive guy who's D game was his weakness? Apparently has a nice point shot.
His offensive numbers were pretty impressive in 13-14 and 14-15 but I dont think anyone here has seen him play more than a few times
Based off stats he looks like a stay at home guy

2013-14: Hrabarenka was the leading scorer amongst defensemen for New Jersey AHL affiliate Albany in his second pro season despite appearing in just 48 of 75 games for the club. After opening the season with the ECHL’s Elmira Jackals, he joined the Devils in November. Originally in a limited role with Eric Gelinas and Jon Merrill in the lineup, he had an up-and-down season; scoring 3 goals with 10 assists in a ten-game stretch from November 22nd to December 29th but then had no points in nine January games. Hrabarenka finished the year with 6 goals and 15 assists and was minus-3 with 75 penalty minutes. Albany finished second in the Northeast Division and lost to eventual Calder Cup finalist St. John’s in a first-round playoff series. Hrabarenka did not see any action in the playoffs as Merrill and Gelinas returned from the NHL for the four-game series.
2014-15: Hrabarenka made his NHL debut at the end of the year after skating for New Jersey AHL affiliate Albany in his third pro season. He was +1 with no points nor penalties in 12 minutes of ice time in a game against Tampa Bay on April 9th in his only NHL appearance. Hrabarenka led Albany Devils’ defensemen with 9 goals despite missing time with a cracked cheek bone. He had 18 assists in 47 games, finishing the year with an even plus/minus and 26 penalty minutes. The Devils finished fourth in the Northeast Division, missing the AHL playoffs.
Talent Analysis
Hrabarenka is an offensively-inclined defenseman who uses his size to take away the boards from on-rushing players. He will position himself between the puck and the net to take away shooting space and is willing to lay out to block shots.

That isn't even a viable player type in today's NHL. I wouldn't even waste time developing a guy like that.
