#3 Logan Pyett
Pos: Defenseman
D.O.B.: 05/26/88
From: Balgonie, Saskatchewan
Height: 5'11
Weight: 198
Shoots: Right
Drafted: 7th Rnd 2006 draft by Detroit (NHL)
Acquired: Signed three-year contract with Detroit (NHL) 5/18/08
Personal:
Plus: Okay skater with decent lateral movement and balance... Good, heavy shot... Offensively skilled but no flair... Makes the safe play... Good intensity and determination...
Minus: Undersized for position... He possesses no elite level skills... Defensively inconsistent... Needs to improve skating...
Organizational Comments: "He's got good hockey sense, good hands... He's not tall - He's 5-foot-10 - but he's 200-pounds. Certainly we're thrilled with the player we got - where we got him in the draft - and certainly a player that looks like he can be a pro." Red Wings GM Ken Holland
What GRC says: Fall 2008:Pyett is very reminiscent of former Griffin Derek Meech. He is not your prototypical pro defenseman, in that he is smaller and not a top flight offensive talent. With some work Pyett should make a nice transition to the AHL as a safe two-way blueliner who excels at the first pass out of the zone.
Role: Two-Way Defenseman
Projection: NHL Depth Defenseman
