Talent Analysis

Girgensons is a hard-working forward who is stronger on defense than he is on offense at this time. He has leadership qualities, and is not afraid to get his nose dirty at either end of the ice. Girgensons has not shown an advanced skill set on offense up to this point, but his main value could be as more of a shutdown center. If his offensive capabilities continue to develop, he could anchor the second line at the pro level.
