We start the 2019 Pension Plan Puppets Top 25 Under 25 prospect ranking with a player that fits all of GM Kyle Dubas’ stereotypes. Duszak is small, skilled, smart, and a right-handed defenseman that the Marlies will have lots of fun developing.
Age: 22
Shoots: R
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 185lbs
Acquired: Free Agent ‘18
18/19 Team: Mercyhurst (NCAA)
Out of our 17 voters this year, eight did not have Duszak on their ballots, including five from the masthead. The remaining nine voters placed him in the 21-25 range, which was just enough to put him above Dmytro Timashov, who was 22nd last year and 26th this year.
