Before I go any further, I would like to remind you all of this great Maxime Lajoie moment.
The speedy young defenseman was a fifth round pick in 2016 and has acquired the reputation of being an extremely smart puck moving defenseman who is solid at both ends. His skills include his skating abilities and being able to read plays at the perfect time. He has ample playoff experience in his junior career and impressed throughout his career in the WHL.
Lajoie’s time in the NHL started like a firework; he became only the second defenseman in Senators history to score in his first game (after Wade Redden).
