Alex Cotton

Second year eligible late bloomer who has grown his game in the last year by leaps and bounds, and has to be considered as one of the top 12-14 defenseman in this class at this time. Displays strong puck skills that will allow him run him to QB his future team’s power play. Confidently skates through traffic with excellent footwork, and plays an active game in all three zones with no letdown or miscues. Very adapt at shutting down attackers with his shadowing skills. The idea about him not havng good feet is ridiculous. His final year point production was more than a point per game and he has a good sized frame to build on.
