Basically a flawless defenseman for his age. Carels can make an impact at both ends of the rink and will join Verhoeff at North Dakota next season. Heck, they might even play together, as they did for Canada at the world juniors.

Absolutely ripped it up offensively in the playoffs after an excellent regular season. Rudolph has a lot of high-end attributes, and truly the only smudge is that scouts don't know if he has the same killer instinct as some of his peers.
