Jonas Lagerberg Hoen to Ottawa.
VERY interesting.
JLH is a good shooter who skates well and has a big 6-foot-3 frame. He missed most of the season due to a season-ending injury… in October.
But scouts really believe in him because the raw fundamentals are there. He was one that I questioned due to the lack of actual playing time, but scouts really got me interested in the Swede in the latter stages of the season after pointing out just how often he dominated shifts in various ways.
The raw talent is still very intriguing. #NHLDraft
Jordan Spence, re-signed 4x$5M by OTT, is a two-way defenceman who plays a smart, simple, and responsible game to tilt the ice and avoid putting himself in situations where he's vulnerable due to his lack of size. Saw elevated minutes down the stretch and thrived in them.
Zach Whitecloud is criminally underrated. This would be a fantastic upgrade for the #Sens top four. Absolutely love to hear that Ottawa has him as a target. He’s about to hit his prime and would bring a physical defensive presence that most of our other D do not bring.
