Ronan Seeley

Another one of the draft classes elite skating defenseman. He is a terrific backward skater and with excellent side-stepping abilities and a lightning-fast skill to pass pucks into transition opportunities. He is simply fast; reached top gear from standstill easily and uses his skating agility to pivot in traffic and on through defenders attempting to funnel him outward. Can turn tight and place soft passes into the slot for his teammates. Strong in his skates, and plays strong in own end, and is usually out on the ice in the key situatiosn on the penalty kill and in the final minutes. Readily blocks shotts, clears the crease area, and is supplementary offensive ootion. Needs to add power to his shot, and add strength to his wrists to snap both passes and shots with more pizzazz.
