Pedan is a raw but physical two-way defenseman in the making. He has a very fluid skating stride that allows him to play a role in both the defensive game as well as offense. He transitions well and is never out of a play because of his mobility. He sees the ice well, makes some strong passes and has a big bomb from the point. He moves the puck up ice well, is physical and loves to play the body. He plays with healthy amounts of sandpaper and showed that he is willing to defend himself with a stick chop or by dropping the gloves. A recent change to the defensive position from forward has led to many rough defensive games. He needs to learn much of the positioning and to keep his gaps consistent as right now his defensive game can be a mess. He makes bad reads on when to pinch and when to play it safe. He will have plenty of time to develop his defensive game next season in Tri-City of the USHL and if he does in fact keep his it to Bemidji State in 2014. He could also go the major junior route as his brother and Islanders draft pick Andrey did with Guelph in the OHL. (May 2013)
