Yeah, he's another guy I like and have been watching this week. He's a Mayfield type. Big, rangy and he plays with an edge. He's not Carlo mobile (for a big guy) but he is a good skater. He's also a keep it simple type on breakouts. He kills penalties, plays against top lines and blocks a TON of shots. He averages about 21 minutes a night (24 in the playoffs) and gets 60% Dzone starts. 29 years old.

If you liked Oleksiak then Forbort is a good plan B.

Derek Forbort is a big left-shot D-man. I agree that Brandon Carlo is a decent comp for Forbort.

Forbort would certainly eat up some minutes on the PK. He led the Jets last season in PK time per game at 2:41. Compared with Bruins who had over 50 total mins on the PK, he would have ranked 2nd (tied with Carlo) in PK time per game behind Lauzon.
