Beleskey was selected by the Ducks in the 4th round and 116th overall in the 2006 draft.
Beleskey is another really thick guy with a pro body at 6 feet and 205-210 pounds. He’s a gritty tenacious player with a good wrist shot and finishing ability around the net. He really improved a ton throughout his junior career, and had a really solid rookie year in the AHL scoring 11 goals and 35 points in 58 games, prorated that’s almost a 20 goal/50 point year.
Beleskey is considered a character player with great leadership qualities, he will do whatever it takes to win. He blocks shots, he hits, hes responsible defensively, kills penalties and goes to the dirty areas, this is what will make him a solid pro in the near future.
He has a real shot of making the team out of camp, but if he doesn’t should be one of the first minor league call ups. I would love to see him play with Mike Brown and Ryan Carter which would make a tenacious 4th line.
He could possibly be a 2nd liner down the line but I think he’s going to be a great 3rd line type guy that helps teams win in the playoffs he must improve his skating but I think he’s a guy that could be like Rene Bourque, Chris Clark or a player along those lines.
