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.
