Draft Candidate – Brian Campbell
If
Scott Hannan and Brian Campbell are both there at 8th
overall, it’ll make for a tough decision for Rangers’ brass.
Chances are the Rangers will select Campbell over Hannan as
he is thought to be the best defenseman in this draft.
Campbell is a very mobile defenseman who shows great
confidence when he has the puck. He is extremely creative
and smart when he has the puck and can lead a powerplay
efficiently. He is of slighter frame and will get knocked
off the puck by larger more physical players. He is a solid
defender but most likely won’t reach an elite level.
Overall, he is a good two-way defenseman who will be an
asset to the team that drafts him.
