TREVOR VAN RIEMSDYK - Defenseman - 28 - $2.3MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2020-2021
LAST UPDATED 7/26/19
While "TVR" may not be the high-end NHL-er that his brother James is in Philadelphia, TVR still does have his place as a solid defensive NHL defenseman. Ever since arriving in Carolina, Van Riemsdyk has been a very steady presence on Carolina's blueline. Buried in a defensive group that's among the NHL's best, perhaps TVR doesn't get the recognition he deserves. Isolated impact metrics are very high on TVR's level of talent. They show him to be an incredible shutdown force on the penalty kill, as well as a moderately strong defensive presence in 5v5 play. His traits as a player support these optimistic metrics, as TVR not only possesses above-average size but also a strong defensive mind. He'll never score more than 20 points barring an offensive renaissance, and that limited offensive ability restricts his overall upside, but TVR still has strong enough positional awareness, versatility, and all-around strength to be a defensive #4/5 in 5v5 play while also anchoring a very strong power play.
