STEVEN SANTINI

STEVEN SANTINI - Defenseman - 24 - $1.41MM Cap Hit - RFA in 2021 - 2022

LAST UPDATED 8/20/19
Despite playing in less than 40 games in every NHL season of his career, the Nashville Predators saw something in Santini and made him a big part of their return for P.K. Subban. Santini is very much a one-dimensional player. He does not contribute offense, should not be handling the puck, and is a below-average skater. He won't help with the transitional game and should only be counted on for marginal contributions, if anything. That being said, while he is an offensive liability he does provide some decent defense. I don't think he's a shutdown force, and I don't think I would trust him to anchor my PK, but he's still a responsible player in his own end who can chip in on the PK sporadically. His complete lack of offensive ability torpedoes his value, though, as he doesn't provide enough defensive value to make up for it and earn a large amount of ice time. He's a good bottom-pairing defensive balance to a #5/6 offensive puck mover, like a Tony DeAngelo, for example, but beyond that he's not much more than a strictly defense-only #6 defenseman.
