Quoting: Poehling
IMO
- Norlinder best potential ( Subban type )
- Guhle best lock to be a NHLer
- Romanov in the NHL right now
- Harris I see a better version than Mete ( offensively )
- Struble just 19 yo developing in the NCAA
- Fairbrother (just saw him play 2 games in the AHL can’t say)
Fairbrother is more like a Tom Wilson but from the back end
He not only loves being the team Defender he thrives in that role.
He's productive , has Explosive Skating ability and Aggressive Checking Ability will hound you all game long for finishing a check on a Suzuki or Caufield.
I think he'll make a nice 3rd pair guy behind Edmunston and Romanov in 1-2 years
He'll end cheap shots single handedly
Just check out some of his fights
He can throw punches from both Right and Left side with ease
Only Fighter we got who can also play hockey
We got Pezzetta who can scrap but that's all he can do
Struble is the only one who can Fight but like Shea Weber it take a lot to get him that mad
Fairbrother is great because he's not competing for a top 4 spot like Norlinder , Ghule,Romanov,and Harris.
Struble is the only other one who's a 3rd pair D good for Hits , Blocking Shots , Special Teams and the occasional fight (but he'll take 3-4 years to develop)
