Scouting read
Bleyl is an offensive defenseman with a Offensive Defenseman, Puck-Moving Defenseman, Two-Way Defenseman profile. Crafty QMJHL rookie defender with puck-moving upside (Daily Faceoff, Steven Ellis). The concern is pace: he still has to prove the offense arrives quickly enough at the next level. The bet is a useful NHL defender if the puck play keeps moving forward. He is more of a second-round conversation, with a #17-#34 public range across 10 tracked lists. NHL Central Scouting has him 17th among North American skaters. For context, he ranks 2nd of 328 among QMJHL U19 defense since 2000 at a 35-game floor.
