Position: Defense (Right Handed)
Two-way defense is hard, but we’re slowly getting to the point that nearly any defender worth his salt will try and involve themselves in offensive plays nowadays. But because it’s so difficult to do both well, defense prospects can get shunted into being stay-at-home guys or effectively a fourth forward who can shotblock if it means it’ll help their draft stock. It’s not a bad thing, in fact many can find a niche on any team through that, but it takes a very delicate balance of training and coaching to ensure that a player who shows promise in both categories can excel at them without sacrificing one side of the ice for the other.
