tell me about Noah Hanifin

[tedduf]

Can you guys tell me a bit about Noah Hanifin ? Is he a Karlsson/Green/Letang kind of offense player ? Doughty/Keith tough do it all guy ? Mainly shut-down future ahead of him ? Is there a better player out there that he compares to ? Thank you !

He's a very strong two-way player so Doughty, Pietrangelo, Yandle and Keith are very good comparisons, but I don't think he has the mean streak/emotional play that Doughty has.

Think... Doughty, but not as many big hits and not yelling at refs haha.

Hanifin is rock solid in his own zone, doesn't make many mistakes and has great offensive instincts.

I've only had 5-10 viewings of Hanifin, and about 10-15 of Ekblad, but if I'm an NHL GM I'd want Hanifin > Ekblad.

How do you get the chance to see these guys play? Particularly Hanifin.

I saw Hanifin play twice live in the U17's and I watched a lot of the U18 games this year. I never saw him with the USNTDP unfortunately.

As for Ekblad, I purchase OHL Livestream.

For some reason I thought I read 'live viewings'. This makes more sense

Also, if you ever have time to kill, here's the Russia v USA game from the U17's.
