Keith Seabrook

Prospect Grade: 6.5 C  (About Prospect Grades)

History

Seabrook, the younger brother of Chicago Blackhawks’ defenseman Brent Seabrook (14th overall 2003 NHL Entry Draft), played the 2005-06 season as a member of the Burnaby Express of the BCHL. After a slow start to the season, Seabrook came on late in the year, and emerged as one of the team’s best defenders. In 57 games, Seabrook registered 10 goals and 24 assists, and finished the year with a total of 81 PIMs.

Seabrook also had an impressive post-season as well, and was one Burnaby’s key players during the team’s Doyle Cup championship run. He finished the playoffs as the leagues highest scoring defender, registering 9 goals and 10 assists in 20 postseason games.

2006-07: Though only a freshman, Keith has had a respectable season with the University of Denver, and has already begun to make a name for himself in the NCAA. With two goals and 11 assists in 37 games, Seabrook has shown only moderate production at the NCAA level.  But considering he was a true freshman at only 18 years old, it shows only the tip of the iceberg. 

Talent Analysis

Seabrook has tremendous offensive upside. He is a great passer and is a versatile power play quarterback as well. Although he can at times be out of position due to the fact the he thinks offense first, Seabrook will have the opportunity to learn better defensive awareness in the NCAA as he recently accepted a scholarship to play at Denver University.

 

Future

Seabrook has the tools to steadily improve, and could possibly become one of the Caps’ best prospects over the next few seasons. He is a great talent, and could emerge as one of the NCAA’s premier offensive defenders.
