Small, skilled players have a place in today’s NHL — at least on offence. But what Vancouver Canucks prospect Jordan Subban is capable of achieving on defence is still a giant question mark. Why not try to avoid it by moving him to the wing?
So far this season, Subban has two goals and four points in two games with the Utica Comets. It is worth noting that both of those games were 5-2 losses against the Toronto Marlies, so Subban got a point on every one of Utica’s goals so far. He is on pace for 76 goals, 76 assists and 152 points this year.
