| Luke Prokop | Red Deer vs Calgary (WHL) | 2/1/2020 | Great size at 6'4, 218 pounds, and is an excellent skater for a young player as big as he is. Plays a smart and composed defensive game in his end, and uses his size and mobility well to force plays to the boards, pin players behind the net, or with the puck, make safe plays under pressure. At this point, he does not pose much of a threat at the offensive end, despite his quality passing ability. He slings his wrist shot more than he snaps it, and his slap shot has some power but not enough to intimidate goaltenders at this point. He seems like a well-rounded player, so if the offensive develops, he could work his way onto an NHL roster. Especially with his size and skating. |
