Option 1:
is Leo Roze the most underrated player in the J? After getting drafted 61st in the J draft and falling to the second round in the SHL draft, this 6’6 Latvian defenseman has been taken late both times. So far on pace to potentially set the Quebec City Citadelles block record, and second in plus/minus for the season so far, I definitely think he might be one of the most underrated players in the league. A big point to that was QCC’s 8-1 loss recently, where he played over 20 minutes and still came out with a +1 rating, and 4 blocked shots. There’s definitely a point to be made that Roze is shutting down his opponents, being a stable on QCC’s very strong penalty kill. One of the reasons he might be underrated is he doesn’t really put up points, only having one assist on the season so far. While I think he can do better on his scoring, the defensive skill he brings is not matched by many in the J currently
