Noel Gunler has a wicked release that seems to fool goalies quite a bit as the puck is there on his stick one second and gone the next. However Gunler himself has a knack for disappearing just as much as the puck does off his stick. Some see him as a first round pick, but Craig isn't sold because of how inconsistent he has been. Tyler Kleven meanwhile is a big, mobile shut down defenceman, something every team wants. He's not going to be a big point producer or a top pairing guy, but skates well and could be a penalty killer at the NHL level. He's also going to the University of North Dakota where he's have plenty of time and access to the latest technology to put muscle on his frame.
