Profile Contributed By: Leslie Treff
History
Michael Sauer spent quite a bit of his junior hockey career recovering from injuries. It was only in his final season, during 2006-07, that he played almost the entire year. A very athletic and able defenseman, Michael is the brother of NHLer Kurt Sauer. Very impressive in the Rangers' training camp in the Fall of 2007, Sauer has spent the beginning of his first professional season on the AHL Hartford Wolf Pack's top defensive pair. Recently suffering from concussive symptoms, Sauer has been out of action for the last few games.
Talent Analysis
Scout #1: Big strong physical defenseman that skates well. He’s a young man that’s just developing into his size. I don’t think he’s going to opt in because he had surgery on his hip and they told us that they don’t believe that he’ll opt in.
Future
Sauer comes from excellent hockey bloodlines, is very poised, sticks to his assignments and is solid in his own end. It’s these qualities that make him a potential top pair defensive defenseman.
