ZACH WERENSKI - Defenseman - 22 - $5.00MM Cap Hit - RFA in 2022-2023
LAST UPDATED 8/3/19
Since breaking into the NHL as a teenager, Zach Werenski has become the second member of Columbus' foundation: the Werenski-Jones defensive pairing. Werenski has become a star thanks to his mobility, grit, and intelligence. He's a great skater who can be an asset in transition with his zone exit and zone entry abilities. Werenski isn't an elite shooter from the point, nor does he have elite playmaking abilities, but he's a smart enough and mobile enough defenseman to consistently posts 40 point seasons. He can't QB a power play, but he's reliable offensively and can help move the puck up the ice quickly. Defensively, Werenski processes the game well and is big enough and strong enough to consistently win board battles. He's not an elite shut down force but he's a capable defenseman who benefits from playing alongside a true #1 defenseman in Seth Jones. Given his all-around abilities and level of point production, Werenski is a good #2 defenseman at the NHL.
