Role Players: Defensemen
Mark Barberio: C+
It’s always a roller coaster watching Mark Barberio play. He is a skilled puck-mover… until he isn’t. He earned an assist during the playoffs. We’ll take it.
Patrik Nemeth: C+
Speaking of skilled puck movers, Patrik Nemeth is not one of them. However, he shut players down when he could and overall didn’t look like a traffic cone out there. I gave him the plus because he recorded as many points as Wilson, a forward.
David Warsofsky: C
I didn’t really notice David Warsofsky in the four games he played. Considering he’s mostly an AHLer, and a small one at that, that’s a good thing.
Duncan Siemens: C+
I liked Duncan Siemens game this series. He played his usual heavy, mean game, and I think he made a difference in the five games he suited up for. Unfortunately, I suspect it wasn’t impressive enough to earn him a contract.
