-> “He’s an elite penalty killer,” Cavanaugh said. “His skill set is a lot better than people give him credit for and his reach is something you can’t teach. To beat him one on one, it’s really hard. Another of our young defenseman, Brendan Dunphy, is trending to be that kind of player. It makes them great penalty killers because they cover so much space and take away so many seams with their sticks. Viking is really materializing into an elite college defender. It’s not going to surprise me to see him playing in the NHL someday.” <-
