KYLE BURROUGHS - Defenseman - 23 - Drafted 2013 #196 Overall
LAST UPDATED 1/16/19
Burroughs was selected out of WHL Regina as a high-character two-way defenseman. Since graduating to the pro ranks and spending a short stint in the ECHL, Burroughs has cemented himself as a consistent presence on the Isles' AHL blueline. Burroughs plays with an edge, and despite only being a middle-of-the-pack player size-wise he's an intimidating presence with his toughness. Despite being in his third professional season, Burroughs has not broken into the NHL yet, and given the Isles' defensive struggles in Burroughs' strong 2017-18 year, that's concerning. At this point, Burroughs has bottom-pairing physical defenseman upside, and if he can continue to develop and score at the AHL level, he could be an intriguing late bloomer as he gets further into his 20's.
