Peyton Kettles's Player Profile

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - June 10th: "His value is mostly on the defensive side, but he has some offense, too. I've seen him find lanes in the offensive zone and make tough plays, although I don't think he's a natural skill type. As a big man, I'd like to see him use his frame more to push guys around, even if he gives a decent effort."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 2nd: "The sixth pick in the 2022 WHL draft, Kettles’ statistical profile is a modest one after registering 15 points in 69 combined regular season and playoff games as a 16-year-old and 16 points in 58 combined regular season and playoff games this year, but Kettles is a physical, hard-to-play-against, at-times mean player type who has some of the attributes a player his size needs to become successful as a depth defenseman in the NHL. He moves well enough and actually flows going forward pretty comfortably for a player his size."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - May 27th: "Kettles didn’t put up many points in Swift Current, but he wasn’t afraid to absolutely blast someone. The 6-foot-5 defender takes up a ton of space, defends well and is decently mobile for his size. He can kill penalties, and I actually think he’s better offensively than his 14 points suggest."

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - March 26th: "Averages over 24 minutes per game. Deployed in all situations. A two-way defenceman with depth offence. (53GP-5G-9A)"

Mike Morreale - NHL.com - February 21st: "Kettles (6-5, 190) is an old-school defenseman, excelling in shutting down the opposition as a defensive-minded player. He compares his style to that of Seider and is capable of disrupting offenses with his long reach while also playing with an edge."
