The next player on our BSH draft board is Blake Fiddler, a steady right-handed defenseman developed with both the US National Team Development Program and with the WHL’s Edmonton Oil Kings.
Projected to go in the back half of the first round, Fiddler fits into the group of defenseman in the third defenseman tier of the draft. With Matthew Schaefer being the top tier, Radim Mrtka and Kashawn Aitcheson making up the second tier, the third group is a bit more convoluted. It’s probably some combination of Logan Hensler, Sascha Boumedienne, Cameron Reid, and Blake Fiddler that make up the final tier of likely first-round defensemen.
