Talent Analysis
Justin Falk is a big stay-at-home defenseman at 6'5 and 215 pounds who sees the ice well and plays positionally sound hockey. While he can deliver a big hit, he doesn't typically go looking for it. His skating gets a passing grade, good for his size. He needs to improve his decision making with the puck and his puck skills overall.
Future
Falk will likely begin his pro career in the AHL in 2009-10.
