D - 6'1 - 185
Candella was forced into a leadership role on a young blueline after their back end mainstay, Justin Lemcke, went down with an injury. While he’s taken advantage of the opportunity offensively, Candella’s game in the defensive zone has also been exposed slightly.
He’s a big body that isn’t afraid to go into the dirty areas. He should be able to grow into a two-way defenceman with a powerful shot from the blue line – and has the ability to control the tempo of the game with his puck possession skills.

Looks promising, especially how he played when he had to move up in the line-up. Solid pick IMO.
