About

At 6’6”/231, Bahl towers over everyone on the ice. People rave about his shutdown defensive abilities, which, let’s face it, the Red Wings have needed since Lidstrom retired. Scouts already claim he is very strong on the puck for a 17-year-old and tough to push around (no kidding). He should fall right into the Red Wings lap at 30, 33 or 36.
