The only reason Noah Warren isn’t ranked in the late first round was because he was playing behind Tristan Luneau. The 17 year old is 6’5″ and entered the past season tilting the scale at 214 pounds.

The St-Jean-sur-Richelieu native is your prototypical stay at home defenceman. His offensive game is erratic although he can make the occasional pinch. He generates great lane coverage and isn’t afraid of throwing his weight around. He can dish out explosive body checks as well as intelligent hip checks that can just as easily slow the opponent down.

This isn’t the kind of guy that you give the puck to. While he’s good enough to dish a pass and has displayed much improvement when protecting the puck, this is the guy you want killing your penalties and facing some of your opponents’ best lines. Like most big men defenceman, he has some work to do on his speed but it’s not at a level that needs to be worried about.
