MacMillan was a 2008 3rd round pick who can play forward and defense.
He’s a fantastic skater, as a forward he’s considered a very good defensively responsible forechecker.
On defense he’s considered a puck mover who can skate the puck out of the zone.
So this kid has a chance due to his versatility, he’s a high character player who competes hard, kills penalties, blocks shots, goes to dirty areas despite only being 5’11, he is short but pretty thick at 190 pounds. He moved back to defense late in the year in Vancouver because his team needed him there and did play very well so that could possibly be this guys long term position, but again with the Ducks depth on D perhaps his way to the league will be as a forward.
That said he’s 3-4 years away from any type of NHL experience.
