Jared Cowen's Player Profile

At the beginning of the season, Cowen was ranked as high as #3, but in January, the 6’5” d-man suffered a season ending knee injury. He’s a big, physical defenseman, with a long wingspan, which helps draw the comparison to the Bruins Zdeno Chara and Adam Foote. Has shown decent offensive skills, registering 21 points in 48 this past season with Spokane, but will be looked as more of a defensive defenseman in the NHL. He will be one of the top D-men taken in the draft, and should be taken in the top 10.Would you like to write a player profile for any prospect that may be entering the 2009 NHL Draft?
