Great pick, need another big strong defenseman in the system.

Uncharacteristically, we chose someone with strong skating. Happy with this pick!

From the ~1 minute of reading about this guy on social media, I’m going to say confidently that this guy is the steal of the draft 😎

>He is the best defensive player in the draft by quite a long way.
I know it’s just one scouting report, but picking up the best defensive defenceman is one hell of a steal at 30.
Other rankings:
Pronman: 36th
McKenzie: 27th
Button: 16th
Wheeler: 32nd

All that writing and then ending saying this kid is a bottom pair defenseman.
That’s no shade but let’s keep that in the back of our minds when we start pumping tires

Interesting that he was born in Canada but reps America. I think that’s the first time I’ve seen that.

His film literally looks like if Kandre Miller liked to hit. Its uncanny.

> Defensive Game: This is where EJ Emery truly shines. He is the best defensive player in the draft by quite a long way. His ability to read the situation and make the perfect play is second to none. His gap control is elite, which helps him defend the rush. The stick control is great as he uses it to intercept passes or perfectly time poke checks. His positioning is outstanding and he will use both body and stick to outsmart forwards. Making gaps disappear in an instant with smart movement and body and stick positioning. It’s not often forwards find space with Emery on the ice to even enter the zone.
Best Defensive player in the draft according to this report. I’ll take it.

He can skate really well and seems to have actual hockey smarts. Those translate very well to the pro game.

Apparently he broke a record for an athletic test (long jump I think) and he won 4 other athletic tests as well. He may be the most athletically gifted player in the draft.

Emery and Fortescue beeing a shutdown 3rd pairing is gonna feed families

Defensive defenceman to play with a. Fox – super underrated

Kid looks like a steal tbh

Solid pick. Not sure how anybody can complain, got a player that should be an NHLer with the 30th pick. Big mobile defenseman is something we need more of
