History
2005-06: Early in the year, deGray was listed as ranked eleventh overall by ISS but his lack of offense has toned down his ranking. Nevertheless with his tools, he could surprise a lot of people. He is almost impossible to go around with his huge reach and superior positioning. He played in the Canada - Russia CHL challenge and also played for Team Canada at the Under-17s.

Talent Analysis
Teams like large defensemen and deGray is big, although he does not always play up to his size. He is a special defensive player who can play effectively against the other team’s best. He needs to improve his speed to be a good player in the faster than ever NHL.
Teams know exactly what they are going to get with deGray which is a solid defensive-minded defenseman who can kill penalties, and who will be solid with possibilities of becoming a real anchor. deGray is somewhat reminiscent of Adam Foote early in his career, although deGray is two inches taller and not quite as physical as the NHL-stalwart.
