Rate the Ducks

[Legionnaire11]

Looking for some help on my annual rating project. Shouldn't take more than 15 mins if you watched most of the Ducks games last season. So the areas that we're rating are on a five point scale and go as follows:

• Player Role: This is really what type of player they are, and specifically where they would slot into the average NHL team, not necessarily Anaheim. So they could be Elite/All-Star, 1st liner, 2nd liner, 3rd liner, 4th liner/Scratch, Minor leaguer, High-end prospect, Low-end prospect.
  
• Skating: Straight ahead speed should be the primary consideration. Rate on the provided scale where 1 is the lowest, 5 is the highest and 3 is average.
• Defense: Overall defensive skill but primarily gap control and using their stick and body to neutralize an attacker. Rate on the 1-5 scale.

The Scale:
5 - Well above average
4 - Above average
3 - Average
2 - Below Average
1 - Well below average
(In reality some player could be a 0 or 6, for example McDavid would rate as a 6 in skating, this would be an extremely rare case and most teams won't have a 0 or 6 in any area)

I need only 2-3 submissions, and the help is extremely appreciated!

For reference, here are the players that I'm looking for:
Adam Henrique
Ryan Getzlaf
Carter Rowney
Sam Carrick
Sam Steel
Isac Lundestrom
Chase De Leo
Danton Heinen
Rickard Rakell
Sonny Milano
Andrew Agozzino
Max Comtois
Max Jones
Nicolas Deslauriers
Jakob Silfverberg
Troy Terry
David Backes
Kiefer Sherwood
Jani Hakanpaa
Cam Fowler
Brendan Guhle
Christian Djoos
Josh Mahura
Erik Gudbranson
Michael Del Zotto
Hampus Lindholm
Jacob Larsson
Josh Manson
Matt Irwin
Joel Persson

Adam Henrique

This is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

 

[Trojans86]

Hampus definitely has to be a 5 for defense. One of the best in the whole league.
