Ottawa Senators / Signed
Drafted
2020 round 2 #44 overall by Ottawa Senators
He's a strong single-variable defender, stopping 1-on-1 rushes and guiding the puck carrier up the boards. He's able to find teammates moving up the middle. Kleven's has a booming one-timer, but the Saylyugem bear has more confirmed sightings. He's rarely ready to shoot, but occasionally hits a teammate with a crafty shot-pass or activates down low. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
