Cameron Reid of the Kitchener Rangers is a strong skating, dynamic offensive defenseman that makes up for his lack of size with elite hockey IQ and puck skills.
After last week’s profile on Sascha Boumedienne, the draft board will bring in another defenseman – Kitchener Rangers blueliner Cameron Reid.
Reid, an ultra-mobile defenseman listed at 5-foot-11, is a left-shot defenseman that thinks offense-first. He’s a plus skater, renowned for his work ethic both on and off the ice, but a polarizing player in this draft class. There are questions, like a lot of the other defensemen in this range of the draft, about Reid’s ability to stick at the NHL level due to his size.
