Talent Analysis
MacLeod is a smooth skating defenseman who has an active stick, sound positioning in the defensive zone and is good at filling the lanes to block shots. The lanky defender needs to continue improving his reverse pivots, balance, and leverage while gaining more muscle mass to his 6’-5 frame. He needs to work on moving the puck quicker in the transition game and play more physically down low in his own end.
Future
MacLeod will be expected to play a bigger role, bring leadership and character to Boston College as a junior next year while continuing his overall development at the NCAA level.
