Dave Sutter Facts

Agency: Premium

A steady defensive-Defenseman, Dave Sutter has an imposing frame, is a decent skater, moves very well for his size and is an underrated puck-mover. He is a player who does the little things right and will not risk anything if not necessary. Despite his size, he lacks upper body strength, as he still has a lot of room to bulk up. He also needs to learn how to use his towering body to his advantage in front of the net or along the boards. Dave Sutter is a reliable penalty-killer, who uses his long reach to keep opponents to his distance and also is not afraid to block shots. (by Rafik Soliman, February 2014)
