2022 NHL Draft Profile: Christian Kyrou
Photo by Chris Tanouye/Getty ImagesIsaiah George, who I profiled yesterday, is an example of a good swing on a second/third round pick because he shows a lot of high end tools defensively but a low enough point to hide his offensive potential.
Today’s profile is in a similar situation, but reversed. Christian Kyrou is a smaller offensively minded defenseman who racked up a lot of points and has strong tracking data, but some questions around his skating makes you question his projection to the pros. For Leafs fans who know the story with William Villeneuve, you will be familiar with this story.
