Looks a handy pick up tbh

A reasonable looking wait and see signing.

His career and way he’s described sounds like a similar player to Brassard. Hope he doesn’t make as many mistakes

Looks a nice player, happy with the pick up. Hopefully we add a shut down right shot d man who gets a nose bleed over the red line, and a left handed 2 way or Offensive D Man of the Hotham mould, would give excellent balance to the D. Shaping up okay, big pressure on some of the forward additions to come I feel though.

Welcome Jake,
Looks a decent signing, a player that's played at a good level & should be just about coming into his prime rather than on the way down.

The following is taken from part of a scouting report after he was drafted. Obviously its geared towards his ability (or lack of) at NHL level but still gives an insight into the player type he is:

'A kamikaze style defender who goes all in on all he does.... offensively at least.
A rover when alls said & done, he plays the game like a fourth forward & looks for every chance to put points on the board.

Decent playmaking but has a cannon of a shot.
Little to offer in his own zone.
As raw as can be.'

Jesus Christ he sounds just like Brassard, apart from the cannon shot !
(I still can’t believe Brassard didn’t get gassed last year) 🙈

Sounds like Taylor Doherty.

Sounds like the kind of player Ben O Connor was in Kazakhstan.
His +/- stats last year weren’t stellar, which kind of backs the above up a bit.

I agree with you, the balance on defence looks good so far, if we can add two more who maintain that balance then we should be set.
