Similar size to Power.  Hope he isn’t allergic to contact like OP. 

Oh no. No No.  He's good with it.

Kleber is 

"With agility, reach, and details, Kleber’s a formidable defender. He angles opponents to the outside and times his pokes just as they expose the puck. He has the range to switch between high, low, and off-puck coverage with ease. He’s physical, yet rarely chases or ends up in the box. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide"

I have only watched him a little but he is better Samuelsson because he's got better and quicker edges. I think he might have more offense too but he's got a couple years in college to figure things out. Good pick, his consolidated was 56 but still solid at 42.

I liked his interview.  From the video it looks like he can be a physical RHD too.  

I wish him well in NCAA and hope we can keep him.

Before the draft, I made a list of guys who were young for the draft year, and also had characteristics that I felt made them “playoff guys”.  It was 30-something guys long.  Kleber was on that list.

This is funny, but this guy wasn’t actually on my list.  I felt so sure that he was but I was wrong.  Just because he isn’t young enough though.  He is still a physical beast.
