The full episode is only available to paid subscribers of Hockey Tactics Newsletter

Evaluating Ds: Buium, DeMelo, Liljegren, etc.

Workshop 121 part 2

The majority of Hockey Tactics Newsletter subscribers can be classified into the following categories:

  • Hardcore fans who want to understand the game better & work in the industry

  • Industry members (coaches, scouts, analysts, managers, etc.) who want to upskill

  • Hockey parents who want to provide the best experience for their kids

If you fall into one of the three groups above, you’ll get value from the conversation I shared with NHL prospect analyst Byron Bader about the traits we value in modern defensemen.

Topics covered in Part 2

  • Why Zeev Buium is the antithesis of Dylan DeMelo (and why both are excellent players)

  • What matters to me when working with young defensemen who would like to play professionally

  • The difficulties NHL teams face when scouting defensemen

  • Why Timothy Liljegren is a top-four NHL D right now but TOR has a tough time seeing it

Watch the video at the top for all that and more
