Artyom Levshunov seems like the exact type of player this team could use. Right hand shot, big bodied, good skating and can put up points. Seems to fit the style of defenseman we have been collecting with the much needed size that Verbeek will be looking to add to the backend. Cant imagine Verbeek will tolerate another smaller defenseman with Drysdale and Zell already arriving. Ive read articles comparing him to Owen Power, and that's a guy that could complete the defense for years to come. Our D pool is so strong, but what we are lacking is a true #1 defender who can play in all situations.
I expect multiple of these guys to get traded in the next couple years, but imagine a Defense core of:
Mintyukov - Levshunov
Zell - Drysdale
Lacombe/Hinds - Warren/Luneau/Helleson
That core keeps you competitive for a decade. With all that said, I pray we arent selecting that high this year haha
