Timur Kol

One of the top Russian defenseman is another big kid with great character, who skates with power, has excellent on-ice vision, makes solid defensive plays and uses his strength to get physical down low. Very hockey smart which allows him play in every game situation. He moves the puck well and plays a mistake free game, creating lots of chances for his partners and forwards and can also attack the net, moving in off the blue line. letting his strong wrist shot go. Excellent at creating open space and finding teammates. His biggest weakness is his stickhandlings, as his hands are stiff and he fumbles a lot of pucks when he is pressured, but he is big, physical, and plays a hard game.
