Jeremy Langlois is a high-end skater with great agility and four-way directional mobility. He has a beautiful stride, really good top speed and steady edges that can carve up the ice and stop on a dime. Although he is a two-way defenseman who can play a solid defensive game, it’s his ability to activate into the rush and play off the puck that quickly becomes apparent. He is noticeably confident once he gains possession and his patience enables him to break pucks out of with a strong first pass or with his feet as he transitions the play through the neutral zone and into offensive end. On the attack, he has enough speed to separate himself from opponents and take pucks into quality shooting areas. He routinely makes plays with only limited space, beats defenders with well-timed accurate passing, and prolongs possessions with evasive moves and the ability to access quiet spots on the ice. He walks the blue line with his head up, opening up passing and shooting lanes and can activate down the wall and deeper into the zone. He doesn’t play a particularly physical brand of hockey but he doesn’t seem to need to in order to be an effective defender. His ability to maintain gap control is excellent and he wins puck battles through situational reads, anticipation, stick placement, and body positioning. Overall, he could use a bit more explosiveness in his first two steps and he does have a tendency to try to make something out of nothing at times but, as he continues to make improvements in those areas, Langlois appears to have the skills from the back end to carry the puck up ice and develop into a valuable offensive contributor at the next level while still being able to look after his own zone with respectability.
