Scouting Notes

Note By Zachary DeVine · Game: Mar 30, 2016 · Portland vs Everett (OHL) · Stream #0
So much to like in Bukarts game. Grit a bit of nasty, good wheels and good hockey sense. Can’t believe he isn’t signed.
Note By Zachary DeVine · Game: Mar 30, 2016 · Portland vs Everett (OHL) · Stream #0
Bukarts on the hard, solid back check to eliminate his man.
Summary By Zachary DeVine · Game: Mar 30, 2016 · Portland vs Everett (OHL) · Stream #0
Bukarts was the most consistent player on a wildly inconsistent team, both in this series and during the year. Small at 5’9 but highly elusive and quick on his skates with solid top end speed. Hands and confidence with the puck are also very good. He didn’t post triple digits as an overager, but was highly effective and is deserving of a contract to see what type of small player he could be but he has a full arsenal of skills and a solid dose of grit as well.

Bukarts is very good skater, elusive and shifty. Good on his edges. Gets to where he needs to be
Note By Zachary DeVine · Game: Mar 29, 2016 · Portland vs Everett (OHL) · Stream #0
Bukarts has good vision. Aware of what is going on in the game and on the ice
Note By Zachary DeVine · Game: Mar 29, 2016 · Portland vs Everett (OHL) · Stream #0
Bukarts has a dangerous array of shots to select from. Good release from multiple angles, not afraid of shooting, changes looks at the goaltender often.
