Talent Analysis
Lynch’s goal-scoring abilities have improved over the past two seasons at the University of Michigan; though it is his defensive play that he has been widely regarded for since his draft year. He has great positioning in his own zone and displays a great compete level. He’s also a rabid forechecker in the offensive zone.
Future
Lynch will return to the University of Michigan for his junior season where he’ll be expected to take on an increased offensive role. At this point in his development, he projects to be an effective third or fourth line center.
