Sascha Boumedienne's Player Profile

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - March 26th: "Two-way defenceman with transitional element and secondary scoring upside. (36GP-3G-9A)"

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - March 25th: "He’s a plus-skater who provided two-way transition value in junior, with a long and fluid stride that is complemented by good footwork and balanced four-way mobility. He’s got natural glide but can also stay on top of the ice and flow through his skating patterns."

Smaht Scouting - March 23rd: "This season he made the step up to play College Hockey with Boston University, and while he has more than held his own playing around 18 minutes a night, his lack of top-end offensive skill and clunky edge-work have meant many NHL scouts have real doubts about his ability to be a difference maker at the highest level one day. Additionally, he has struggled with consistency, albeit his game has got better over the season. However, in terms of the positives he is a smooth passer, with solid straight-line speed, good size, solid defensive chops and a tenacious playing style."

Jacob Roth - FC Hockey - March 9th: "Boumedienne has good size and uses it to his advantage, with a long reach that helps him maintain solid gaps and take away passing lanes. Despite his size, however, he is not physical at all, making him easy to push off the puck and prone to shying away from contact."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - February 26th: "Trying to work through the defencemen in this draft class is a challenging task. Boumedienne doesn’t overwhelm you with any one part of his game, yet all the parts together project him to be a mid-pairing defenceman at the next level, with ample seasoning."

Adam Kimelman - NHL.com - February 21st: "There's a maturity to Boumedienne's game that makes him stand out and could fast-track him to the NHL. His intelligence helps him read plays and make smart decisions with the puck on breakouts, whether to make a quick pass out or find an escape route on his own."
