Brady Cleveland Facts

NHL Rights: Detroit Red Wings / Unsigned
Drafted: 2023 round 2 #47 overall by Detroit Red Wings

Cleveland's a physical, aggressive, and often fluid defender. He makes the traditional face-to-face stops, keeping his crossovers few as he guides attacks to the perimeter. But he also pivots to defend the rush skating forwards, angling opponents into a crushing hit along the boards. He identifies off-puck threats, pins attacks to the wall, and blocks the shots that he can't outright prevent. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
