Edited Jan. 6, 2022 at 7:33 a.m.. Reason: Added list of U22 prospects
Quoting: Birtle34
Hopefully the jets version of sergachev, but probably similar to a Dillon, possibly his replacement anyway in a couple years or less
Your projection of Samberg being more like Dillon is likely going to be on the mark. From the Athletic:
"6. Dylan Samberg, LHD, Manitoba-AHL
Jan. 24, 1999 | 6-foot-3 | 190 pounds
Drafted: No. 43 in 2017
Tier: Projected middle of the lineup player
Skating: Average
Puck Skills: Below-average
Hockey Sense: Average
Compete: Above-average
Samberg didn’t have a great season from an offensive standpoint, but he was an important, high-minutes player for Manitoba and looked the part of a good pro. He’s a big, mobile, physical defenseman who you can see shutting down good NHL players due to his excellent gap control. The puck play isn’t the best, but his first pass is decent enough and he has enough flashes of creativity to think he can handle a higher minute NHL workload. Samberg projects as a limited-offense, second-pair defenseman."
