Dave Nonis likes Mattias Ohlund

Nonis likes the individual skills of his defensemen. Now, they need to mesh together. He expects Mattias Ohlund and Mitchell to be key to developing that chemistry. Nonis was told that opponents and former teammates speak in glowing terms about Ohlund. One departed Canucks defenseman recently insisted he is one of the top ten defensemen in the NHL. He plays the position so smoothly, he rarely gets noticed.

"I would agree he is among the 10 best defensemen," Nonis said. "He's so quiet. He's not a guy that draws attention to himself. He just goes about his business. He's a very good defenseman that we use against all the top players in the NHL. He's also a guy who puts up decent point totals.
