Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) Just thought i'd have a look at some guys who could fill that 5/6 spot currently in Europe. Antti Bruun D. A calm and talented defenseman. A good skater and passer. Has a decent shot. Vladimir Sicak D. A small but strong defenseman whose biggest strengths are his skating and passing. Useful on both powerplay and penalty kill. Richard Lintner D. A highly offensive defenseman who often plays like a forward. A good skater, shooter and passer. A powerplay specialist. Hannu Pikkarainen D. A smooth-skating defenseman, Pikkarainen has great offensive tools. He is a skilled passer and possesses a good shot from the point. Thrives on the powerplay. Lacks in physical play and aggression. Josef Melichar D. A big and and pretty tough stay-at-home defensman. Melichar has good reach and is fairly mobile considering his large frame. He plays a simple game without shining. His puck skills are rather mediocre and there is not much to brag about when it comes to his offensive game. Melichar has also had some problems with shoulder injuries during his career. Daniel Fernholm D. A huge and fairly allround defenseman. Fernholm has strong first passes and hockey sense is decent. Better defensively than offensively. His great size and reach makes him a good player in front of the net and along the boards. Skating is not really fast, but decent considering his large frame. Daniel Tjärnqvi D.A very capable two-way defenseman. Tjärnqvist is very steady in his own end where he plays it safe and makes smart decisions. At minor league level he is also quite productive offensively and is a good power play defenseman. Michal Barinka D. A fairly large and strong stay-at-home defender. A good skater for a player of his size. Plays a simple game and is useful on one-on-one. Barinka is a good passer but has some offensive weaknesses. Vladimir Denisov D. An all-around defender with good offensive abilities and a tough attitude. Denisov is useful in one-on-one combats and is always ready to fight for his team. Sasha Pokulok D. Reclaim project for Kenny. 6'5" 230lb #14 overall pick for the Caps in 2005. Played last season in the DEL. Edited May 29, 2011 by Andy Pred 48 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted May 29, 2011 I wouldn't mind taking a chance on Tyson Strachan. He's got some NHL experience(29 games with the Blues last year). I think there are better options out there for a 3rd pairing defenseman, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
