About Noah Hanifin
Hanifin enters the draft NHL-sized at 6'2" and 203 pounds. He's a rare commodity for his age, because his size doesn't slow him down at all.

He's great passer and produced well for Boston College in his freshman season, posting five goals, 23 points, and 52 blocked shots in 37 games.
