History
Possibly the only thing more impressive than Dalyn Flatt’s 237 minutes in penalties during the 2004-05 season, third in the league, was the fact that the 6’3, 215lb defenseman finished in a tie for fourth with Saskatoon teammate Mike Green for the league lead in plus/minus, sharing a +36 mark. Not only that, the native of Teulon, Manitoba also managed to add 19 points, contributing as a top four defenseman on the Blades, who finished second in the East Division. Flatt’s season is even more impressive considering that the punishing defenseman had only two points, both assists, in his entire Western Hockey League career.
Known as a punishing defenseman, Flatt is best utilized as a stay-at-home guy with a nasty edge. With above average defensive zone coverage and an attitude that allows him to be physical, Flatt is an excellent example of the invaluable defensive defenseman.
Talent Analysis
Scout #1: I wasn’t all that impressed with him. I know he’s a big tough guy but to me he didn’t do much more than that. He didn’t show me any playmaking ability, he didn’t make good passes out of his own end and he’s not much of an offensive threat.
Scout #2: It would be fair to assess Flatt’s game as ‘you get what you see’. His strength is his ability to take care of his own end and physically move forwards from the front of the net. Flatt is a safe bet in the draft ranks because he can be counted on to play hard and is willing to drop the gloves.
