not too encouraged after reading that with how much lev has to work on to not be one of the worst d men in the league.
he’s a very raw player with impressive tools but has one glaring weakness with his abysmal hockey iq that might hold him back from reaching his potential.
Dude might be able to play hockey but dude is just dumb as rocks. If he puts up points like Erik karlsson (who is also awful defensively) then you can live with his mistakes. Time will tell though.
Sucks we missed so bad on him
« Instead, it’s Levshunov’s hockey IQ — his decision-making, his positioning, his consistency and so forth — that sometimes holds him back and receives scrutiny. »
« There’s no question Levshunov still needs to improve in plenty of areas, including limiting turnovers, limiting penalties (21 minors called against him), tighter zone-entry defense, better shooting power and accuracy, better communication with teammates, better control of emotions and bouncing back more readily after mistakes. »
Lmao, what a dumb pick at number #2. Basically has to become a completely different hockey player to live up to that selection. The only positive about Lev in the article is that he’s physically strong for his age but he barely uses that in his game.
He has ALOT to work on this summer
Could’ve just taken Demidov
I honestly wonder why any team chooses defensemen at all in round 1 considering that they develop slower and it seems so tough to know how long they’ll take to adjust to pro pace of hockey, if ever. Forwards seem much safer to put early picks on and if that’s the case Demidov certainly seems like he would’ve been more of a sure thing at the time of the draft.
That being said, I don’t think Levshunov will be a bust, but I’m wondering when we’ll start to get a better sense of his ceiling.
Lev is 20 freaking years old. Schaefer being a star has drastically warped how people view young defenseman. You’ll be pretty hard pressed the find many at all who were instantly great. Dude is an athletic freak who has the potential to be a beast. It’s going to take some time but that’s ok. People need to chill.
