Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
Known as an offensive defenseman, Sanguinetti followed up a solid 2004-05 rookie season with a breakout sophomore year of 14 goals and 51 assists in 2005-06.
2006-07: Sanguinetti's season was less impressive in that he recorded fewer points and had one of the worst plus/minus rating on the OHL team. Traded to the highly talented OHL Brampton Battallion in the off-season.
2007-08: Sanguinetti’s play improved during the season in both ends of the ice.
Talent Analysis
Sanguinetti is blessed with offensive gifts and knows when to jump into the play for an offensive chance. He needs to focus more on the play in his own zone, playing smarter, stronger, and tougher in his own defensive end.
"Good skater with ... good agility and balance ... he makes hard accurate outlet passes, sees the ice well and is able to move the puck through traffic ... a big guy who is effective with his long reach[;] he uses the poke check to strip opponents ... will be more successful when he learns to use his size more." - NHL Central Scouting
Future
With outstanding skating and puck-handling abilities, Sanguinetti is a dynamic force on the blueline with equal skill in moving both north/south and east/west. Sanguinetti has the potential to be a member of an NHL first defensive pairing. However, the big defenseman still needs to work on becoming stronger physically and on the puck, but he has shown real growth in the area of his defensive play and if he continues to improve in his own zone, he should be NHL-ready by the fall of 2009.
