Samu Bau Facts

NHL Rights: Utah Mammoth / Unsigned
Drafted: 2023 round 6 #162 overall by Arizona Coyotes
Agency: Premium

He’s more effective at finding space to receive passes and at driving the net than he is at making advanced plays himself. Bau also provides some defensive value with his long reach, intensity, and the ability to anticipate opposing plays. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
