NHL Draft 2017: Washington Capitals select Defenseman Tobias Geisser

With the 120th pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, the Caps have selected defenseman Tobias Geisser.

Geisser, born Feb. 13, 1999, is a 6-foot-4, 201-pound defenseman from Switzerland.

From Elite Prospects:

Tobias Geisser is two-way defenseman with excellent size and mobility. Sees the ice well and plays crisp passes to spark a team’s transition game. Has a long reach and shows a smart defensive game, while keeping his plays simple. Needs to improve his physical play and has to make better use of his excellent frame, as he plays a soft game. Owns a hard shot, which makes him a valuable option for the power play.
