Prompt 2

I'm looking to build my player as a proper defensive defenseman. Everyone wants to be a goal scorer, and I get why - I get super excited as well when I see my player score. But every team needs the guy who doesn't have the super flashy statlines, doesn't get the stars of the game, but everyone who knows what they're talking about considers them a centerpiece of the team due to their defensive prowess. Of course, this means I'm mostly looking towards the defensive stats. Stuff like Checking, Offensive and Defensive Read (since, as far as I understand it, it's more like a hockey IQ stat in each zone, which is always important), Shot Blocking, etc. Hits are always fun, of course, so plenty of those too - but I'm not gonna touch Aggression or Fighting with a ten foot pole. I don't want to be a complete offensive black hole either - pure defense can only get you so far - so of course some points in stats like Passing will help with that.
