Carson Carels is capable of being a franchise Defensemen, he may the best all around dman in this draft, he was always known as a very strong defender due to his size and physical nature, but he’s now added elite skating ability, a powerful shot and is one of the best playmakers in the draft. Even though hes much more physical my player comparison is Jake Sanderson.

Vern Fiddler's son, Blake Fiddler, to Denver. Turns 19 in July. @SeattleKraken 2nd rounder. 6'5."
Big, smooth skater, great kid. Good first pass. Captain of Hlinka team. Needs to learn to defend bigger bodies. David Carle and #cawlidgehawkey will be great for him to do that. Dallas Ferguson and Matt Shaw will guide him well and teach him so much. Will likely make World Junior team. 🇺🇸
