In my viewings, he played a lot on the right side, and he’s a left shot. It’s worth noting that he’s a versatile player as well. He’s not afraid to take hits or dish them out, but isn’t exactly the strongest guy around. Smaller defensemen will always scare teams off, but Molendyk has the skating and defensive ability to overcome it. Not talking weight, but he actually grew, and is closer to 6′ now. The other big question about him is size, but it’s worth noting that he got bigger as the season went on. Can the hands catch up to the feet? That’s something teams will have to decide. He was used on the powerplay, but not the top unit. His skating is incredible, and he defends really well, but when there isn’t much offense being produced, you worry about a player like him being a bit of a “tweener.” His offensive production, however, did go up a fair bit in the second half of the year, so he might have found another level. There are legitimate questions about his offensive potential at the next level. He’s got a real good stick to go with that skating, which is a big reason why he may end up a first round pick.Īs far as puck skills go, Molendyk is strong on the breakout, and makes a lot of people miss in the offensive zone with his skating ability, but not much comes from it. That skating allows him to keep tight gaps, and close in on forwards. His lateral movement is fantastic, and he’s got great edge work.

Molendyk might be one of the better skaters in the draft, and it’s not just straight line speed. And as we all know, the Avalanche love a defenseman that can skate. Don't worry, this is very rare.There is one thing that pops in Molendyk’s game, and it stands out immediately – his skating. **For very few special items, customers in most countries may be charged 3.99 USD for shipping. ⦁ Rest of the world: The shipping cost and time depends on the specific country you live in. ⦁ Most countries in Asia, Europe and Oceania: Free shipping (7-30 working days) Standard shipping may charge addtional shipping fee, suitable for products in stock in our USA Warehouse. ⦁ US (excluding overseas territories and small islands) : Free shipping (7-14 working days) or standard shipiing (3-5 working days) can be chosen.
