Kettles is a big, mobile, physical right-shot D with more puck-moving ability than his numbers indicate. He’s projected to go in this range of the draft and is one of its youngest players. The Red Wings could use a D prospect of his makeup, and he could someday slot in as a depth D behind Moritz Seider, Simon Edvinsson and Axel Sandin Pellikka. This isn’t Brady Cleveland 2.0, either. Rombach could be an option here for the same reason.
