Talent Analysis
Hegarty is a defensive defenseman. Hegarty is a bit small for the role though, which probably accounts for his being available in the fourth round. He is a very smart player, choosing the safe option rather than putting his team at risk. A good skater and smart puck distributor, Hegarty is not the type of player who impresses with flashy plays, but rather with his steadiness and strong positional play.
Future
Attend the Univ. of Maine.
