Players notes are collected while watching games closely, focusing on a few specific players. All in-game notes on players are presented here to give readers a sense of what we are seeing while focusing on the player in question. Often (not always) a summary of the player's attributes is written after the game. Both the summaries and notes help to give a picture of the player's single-game performance and abilities, and is a tremendous aid for understanding a player. 

It is important to know that the Hockey Prophets do not notate all games watched, and not all players viewed will have notes associated with them. However, we are constantly adding notes to the compilation. Follow us on Twitter @hockey_prophets to get alerts when new notes are added. Also, premium members can request player notes on specific players, and the Hockey Prophets will seek clarity from the oracles.

Ian ScherzerSummaryTenacious, very good skating and some good hand skills makes him an interesting prospect. Unlikely to go high in the draft, but someone will want to get him into their system. Brian FogartyGermany vs Austria (2023 WJCs)Video (With Replay)12/30/202210281
Max StieglerNoteComes up the right side, above average speed, then forces a too-hard backhand pass that can't connect and the puck goes tumbling into the corner.Brian FogartyGermany vs Austria (2023 WJCs)Video (With Replay)12/30/202210281

Roman KechterNoteJust looks too passive a lot of the time.Brian FogartyGermany vs Austria (2023 WJCs)Video (With Replay)12/30/202210281
Roman KechterNoteSees an opportunity developing, jumps hard to the slot, takes a good pass and wrists it low far side.

Ivan KlimovichNoteGorgeous one-touch pass at speed.Brian FogartyOmskie vs Sibirskie (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/12/202310280
Ivan KlimovichSummaryLooks like the veteran MHLer that he is. Cool and calm, he creates chances and looks creative in the offensive zone. I'd be surprised if he goes undrafted again, but I'm not certain what his NHL potential would be.

Mikhail GulyayevNoteExcellent speed to fly to loose pucks.Brian FogartyOmskie vs Sibirskie (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/12/202310280
Mikhail GulyayevSummaryDoes a lot of things well. He's a transition defenseman who distributes the puck well, particularly from the point in the offensive zone. Walks the line to open up shooting or passing lanes. Looks unruffled with the puck under pressure. This 2023 NHL draft class is light on high-end defenders, so he'll be among the first few blueliners selected. Brian FogartyOmskie vs Sibirskie (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/12/202310280
Timofei DavydovNoteRocket one-timer off the faceoff beats the goaltender glove side. What a blast.Brian FogartyOmskie vs Sibirskie (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/12/202310280

Timur MukhanovNoteHis skating gets him into and out of little spaces, making him especially effective in high-traffic areas.Brian FogartyOmskie vs Sibirskie (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/12/202310280
Yegor KlesovNoteWide-set strides but okay speed up ice.Brian FogartyOmskie vs Sibirskie (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/12/202310280

Yegor KlesovNoteBig body at the net on the powerplay.Brian FogartyOmskie vs Sibirskie (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/12/202310280

Yegor KlimovichNoteAlways on the move, this time sneaking down the weak left side of the ice, one-touch attempt on a cross-crease pass but the pucks slips just on the outside of the post.Brian FogartyOmskie vs Sibirskie (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/12/202310280
Yegor KlimovichNoteHis closing speed is ridiculous.Brian FogartyOmskie vs Sibirskie (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/12/202310280
Yegor KlimovichNoteMixing it up after the whistle at his own crease.Brian FogartyOmskie vs Sibirskie (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/12/202310280
Yegor KlimovichNoteGets the puck right point and he's suddenly in the low slot, but his wrister goes just over the bar. Wow, he's fast.Brian FogartyOmskie vs Sibirskie (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/12/202310280
Yegor KlimovichNoteBeautiful look and completion, high to low. Nice assist.Brian FogartyOmskie vs Sibirskie (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/12/202310280

Yegor KlimovichNoteGets taken down, loses the puck, and his frustration at the non-call leaves him deep in the offensive zone while the puck is already all the way at the other end. Get up, man!Brian FogartyOmskie vs Sibirskie (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/12/202310280

Yegor KlimovichSummarySuch an exceptionally fast skater. His wheels will give him a lot of opportunities in the future. I was not at all fond of his obvious frustration and how is derailed his game at times, but he looks like a player that might contribute in the NHL some day if he continues to develop.Brian FogartyOmskie vs Sibirskie (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/12/202310280
Danill ButNoteLooks good on his skates, mobile and balanced. Uses little crossovers steps effectively to generate speed on an angle. Long legs make his turning radius fairly wide, but he accelerates through it. Brian FogartyLokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/23/202310279
Danill ButNoteOff the bench, the attack coming towards him, he turns and easily matches the pace of the rushing opponent.Brian FogartyLokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/23/202310279

Danill ButNoteHalf-hearted snap shot off the boards looks more like trying to create rebound trouble than an actual scoring attempt.Brian FogartyLokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/23/202310279
Danill ButNoteHard, crunching hit that could be a boarding call puts his man down to the ice. Draws a long video review and an eventual five-minute major.Brian FogartyLokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/23/202310279
Danill ButNoteOn the powerplay, right point, he exits the zone and hovers a few feet outside the blue line so that he can hit the zone again with some speed when the pass comes across from the left point.Brian FogartyLokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/23/202310279
Danill ButNoteUses his long reach and easy glide to drag the puck low, looks like he's going behind the net, then an ultrafast pull back behind the netminder and flicks the puck into a now-open net. Excellent goal.Brian FogartyLokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/23/202310279
Danill ButNoteA few times he has done the same play, where he's at the right point, pass low to the circle then drives the center lane looking for a give and go return pass.Brian FogartyLokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/23/202310279
Danill ButSummaryVery interesting forward prospect. Tall, with long reach and long legs. Very good skater who is always active. Looks a bit like a guy who has not quite adapted to his length, but he showed good hands, good vision and a nose for the net. His development progression will be interesting to watch.Brian FogartyLokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/23/202310279
Danill IvanovNoteUp top on the powerplay, stay out a long time.Brian FogartyLokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/23/202310279
Danill IvanovNoteBig windup slapper hits something in front of the crease. He was fast through the back swing and release, and the shot was low and hard but hit a skate.Brian FogartyLokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/23/202310279
Danill IvanovNoteGood line to cut off the forward from an attacking lane.Brian FogartyLokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/23/202310279
Danill IvanovNoteVery much a first-pass blueliner who can be effective at the point on the powerplay. Not much of a transition game.Brian FogartyLokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/23/202310279
Dmitri SimashevNoteBig guy, rangy with long strides.Brian FogartyLokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/23/202310279
Dmitri SimashevNoteHas the speed to easily match attacking forwards and to beat most of them up the ice. He has good turns and lateral movement, too.Brian FogartyLokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/23/202310279
Dmitri SimashevNoteNot killing penalties at all, despite the lengthy major.Brian FogartyLokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/23/202310279
Dmitri SimashevNoteLooks like a defender who is far more comfortable leading a rush up ice than he is defending his own zone.Brian FogartyLokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/23/202310279
Fyodor KhrapovNoteTakes a bump and goes to the ice, a bit too easily for my liking.Brian FogartyLokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/23/202310279

Ilya RogovskyNoteTop penalty kill unit, where he can use that nice first step to close gaps.Brian FogartyLokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/23/202310279
Ilya RogovskyNoteOn the penalty kill, left-side player drops to block a shot, and when the puck goes back to the shooter, Rogovsky is fast to his left to clog the lane until his teammate can get back on his feet. Fast thinking, faster skating. Excellent play.Brian FogartyLokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/23/202310279
Ilya RogovskyNoteRogovsky and his glorious lettuce are first out to kill the major penalty.Brian FogartyLokomotiv Yaroslavl vs Spartak Moscow (MHL)Video (With Replay)3/23/202310279

Nikita SusuyevNoteThat's a couple of times in a row he's fired a hard wrist shot into the shins of the defender.

Nikita SusuyevNoteHighsticks the defender below the goalline. Tried to lift his stick and missed it completely.

Hudson ThorntonNoteCollecting the puck and making the first pass is his biggest strength. So good at it.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-CityVideo (With Replay)4/1/202310278
Hudson ThorntonSummaryObvious from the notes is his ability to gather the puck in his zone, get a few strides into space and make a clean breakout pass. Had a few good looks at net and used a couple of different shots to try to beat Suchanek. High competitive drive, and decent all-around transition defenseman. Maybe lacks the dynamic factor that would make him an NHLer, but I would be surprised if he passes through the draft again.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-CityVideo (With Replay)4/1/202310278
Jordan GavinNoteLeft wing half-boards on the powerplay, top unit.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-CityVideo (With Replay)4/1/202310278
Jordan GavinNoteTwo steps towards the slot, pivots his hips around to face the puck (which is down in the left corner), then one-times the pass, but a big save stops him. Good shot.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-CityVideo (With Replay)4/1/202310278
Jordan GavinNoteAgile, but not fast, really. Good speed but not much more than that, it seems.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-CityVideo (With Replay)4/1/202310278
Jordan GavinSummaryHad a lot of ice time, and a lot of chances. Sometimes he was driving the play, and sometimes he looked a step behind the pace and more of a passenger. Has easily apparent offensive skills, and looked comfortable handling the puck in the offensive zone. Needs some development time, though, but as a 2025 draft-eligible player, he has plenty of time to do that.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-CityVideo (With Replay)4/1/202310278
Jozef Villem KmecNoteMoves well going backward, cuts off the lane to the net.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-CityVideo (With Replay)4/1/202310278
Jozef Villem KmecNoteStraight line speed is average or a little better.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-CityVideo (With Replay)4/1/202310278
Jozef Villem KmecNoteWrister from the point that Dubinsky deflects down, and the puck finds its way past Suchanek.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-CityVideo (With Replay)4/1/202310278
Jozef Villem KmecNoteVery good lateral movement.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-CityVideo (With Replay)4/1/202310278
Jozef Villem KmecSummarySteady but unspectacular blueliner. Does all the little things well, but doesn't really stand above the rest in any one area. I can see him as a contributing bottom pair defender that adds depth and reliability to a good NHL team.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-CityVideo (With Replay)4/1/202310278
Koehn ZiemmerNoteGets a puck low right side, waits, waits, tries to lift it over Suchanek's shoulder but the goalie saves it.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-CityVideo (With Replay)4/1/202310278
Koehn ZiemmerNoteGood acceleration to get to a puck.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-CityVideo (With Replay)4/1/202310278

Koehn ZiemmerNoteAnother nice hit below the offensive goal line. Physicality and speed and scoring ability. Nice package of skills and desire.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-CityVideo (With Replay)4/1/202310278
Koehn ZiemmerNoteLikes the spinning shot on net low. Hasn't worked yet, but he'll try it from anywhere.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-CityVideo (With Replay)4/1/202310278
Koehn ZiemmerSummarySuch an impressive player who ticks all of the boxes for a NHL forward. Very good to excellent skater who can accelerate to loose pucks or open spaces, use his edges to avoid contact or reposition, plays with some physical impact. His vision and passing are excellent, and he can either shoot from the dots or battle at the net. Easily a first-rounder who in a normal year might be knocking at the door of the top ten.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-CityVideo (With Replay)4/1/202310278
Lukas DragicevicNoteLightning one-timer hits a leg at the crease.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-CityVideo (With Replay)4/1/202310278

Lukas DragicevicNoteDefensive intelligence is so high. Excellent decisions all the time.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-CityVideo (With Replay)4/1/202310278
Lukas DragicevicNoteMinute and a half left, tied game, and he's diving at the offensive blue line to keep his powerplay unit in the offensive zone. Pops back to his feet to control the play, and earns his team extended zone pressure time.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-CityVideo (With Replay)4/1/202310278
Lukas DragicevicSummaryThere's a reason that Dragicevic is the most relied-upon defender for Tri-City. Speed, smooth four-way movement, high-level scoring and offensive skills packaged with near-elite defensive acumen, and with size. He's an NHL impact blueliner through and through. Unquestionably the top defenseman in this draft class.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-CityVideo (With Replay)4/1/202310278
Connor LevisNoteOut killing penalties early in the game.Brian FogartyVancouver vs Kamloops (WHL)Video (With Replay)4/1/202310277
Connor LevisNoteStankoven with a nice feed, but Levis lets the puck go through his skates and it's a turnover and counter attack the other way.Brian FogartyVancouver vs Kamloops (WHL)Video (With Replay)4/1/202310277

Jaden LipinskiNoteCan't convert the amazing feed from Honzek. Just didn't do anything with it despite the excellent chance.Brian FogartyVancouver vs Kamloops (WHL)Video (With Replay)4/1/202310277
Jaden LipinskiNoteSame shift, lifts the puck up over the glass from his own end and takes the delay penalty. That went from bad to worse.Brian FogartyVancouver vs Kamloops (WHL)Video (With Replay)4/1/202310277
Jaden LipinskiNoteBends at the waist, but is a bit stiff-legged. Okay skated, but can improve.Brian FogartyVancouver vs Kamloops (WHL)Video (With Replay)4/1/202310277
Jaden LipinskiSummaryLipinski looks like a project player. Has good size, and some good tools, but just isn't playing at a high enough mental pace yet. Given time, he could there, though.Brian FogartyVancouver vs Kamloops (WHL)Video (With Replay)4/1/202310277
Samuel HonzekNoteRight wing on the top powerplay unit.Brian FogartyVancouver vs Kamloops (WHL)Video (With Replay)4/1/202310277

Samuel HonzekNoteCarries with confidence and uses his edges and long reach to evade trouble.Brian FogartyVancouver vs Kamloops (WHL)Video (With Replay)4/1/202310277
Samuel HonzekNoteHas the puck right halfboards, and finds the far-side cutter with a spectacular look and pass. No finish from Lipinski, but what a chance created.Brian FogartyVancouver vs Kamloops (WHL)Video (With Replay)4/1/202310277
Samuel HonzekNoteShove to Hofer's back is about the most physical I've seen from Honzek so far this game.Brian FogartyVancouver vs Kamloops (WHL)Video (With Replay)4/1/202310277
Samuel HonzekNoteGoing full out he has excellent speed.Brian FogartyVancouver vs Kamloops (WHL)Video (With Replay)4/1/202310277
Samuel HonzekNoteI like how he used his shoulder and hip to wedge between the puck and the opposing player and gain control.Brian FogartyVancouver vs Kamloops (WHL)Video (With Replay)4/1/202310277
Samuel HonzekNoteSort of attempts a hit but mostly just bumped the puck carrier instead of driving through him.Brian FogartyVancouver vs Kamloops (WHL)Video (With Replay)4/1/202310277
Samuel HonzekNoteCurls off the right wall, snipes short side and beats the netminder clean. Nice shot.Brian FogartyVancouver vs Kamloops (WHL)Video (With Replay)4/1/202310277
Samuel HonzekSummaryComposed, tall forward with a lot of talent. His passes stood out--clearly--in this game, but his shot looked good, too. The Giants were clearly outmatched by the powerhouse Blazers in the game, but Honzek was easily the best Vancouver player. He'll be an NHLer, for sure. I'd like to see him improve his physical play, but he has all the tools to be a top-six forward and a scoring threat.Brian FogartyVancouver vs Kamloops (WHL)Video (With Replay)4/1/202310277
Ty HalaburdaNoteOkay movement laterally, a little methodical maybe.Brian FogartyVancouver vs Kamloops (WHL)Video (With Replay)4/1/202310277

Ty HalaburdaNoteLow wrist shot, saved but leaves a juicy rebound.Brian FogartyVancouver vs Kamloops (WHL)Video (With Replay)4/1/202310277
Ty HalaburdaNoteHe can produce very good top speed. He's first to a lot of loose pucks.Brian FogartyVancouver vs Kamloops (WHL)Video (With Replay)4/1/202310277
Ty HalaburdaSummaryHalaburda is a smart, 200-foot player with very-good-to-excellent speed. Lacks a dynamism and offensive flair, though, and I think that will limit his upside by quite a bit.Brian FogartyVancouver vs Kamloops (WHL)Video (With Replay)4/1/202310277

Adam FantilliNoteGreat backcheck effort, a two-step change of speed and long reach to disrupt the backdoor chance to Cooley.Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michingan (NCAA)Video (With Replay)3/18/202310276
Adam FantilliSummaryDespite the tough competition from Leo Carlsson for the second overall spot in the 2023 draft, I think Fantilli is a lock. He moves, thinks, handles everything so well, and has such great game awareness, that he really does look ready for the NHL right now. Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michingan (NCAA)Video (With Replay)3/18/202310276
Brody LambNoteCooley blocks a shot, and Lamb joins him on the odd-man rush.Not as fast as Cooley, but fast enough. Turns his hips to open up for the pass and wires on over the sprawling netminder.Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michingan (NCAA)Video (With Replay)3/18/202310276
Brody LambNoteMuscles his way through traffic up the boards.Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michingan (NCAA)Video (With Replay)3/18/202310276

Gavin BrindleyNoteSuper quick.Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michingan (NCAA)Video (With Replay)3/18/202310276

Gavin BrindleyNoteFaster than anyone else on the ice.Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michingan (NCAA)Video (With Replay)3/18/202310276

Gavin BrindleyNoteI think he'll get an assist on that goal, too, but if he does, it's more puck luck than a clean secondary assist.Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michingan (NCAA)Video (With Replay)3/18/202310276
Gavin BrindleyNoteRaces to beat an icing late, up a goal, two minutes left. What hustle!Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michingan (NCAA)Video (With Replay)3/18/202310276
Gavin BrindleySummaryHis speed is a killer, but his ability to consistently affect the game on every shift that makes him look like a solid NHL-caliber player despite his 5'9, 157 frame. He works so hard to make an impact, and the puck just finds him. His father played at 5'10 and near 200 pounds, so if Gavin can add an inch of height and maybe get to 175, even better.Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michingan (NCAA)Video (With Replay)3/18/202310276

Will WhitelawNoteHigh agility and fast hands means he can generate chances quickly.Brian FogartyDubuque vs Youngstown (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/17/202310275
Will WhitelawSummaryOne of the best players in the game, certainly of the group that I was watching. At 5'9, 173, he is certainly on the smaller end of the NHL forward spectrum, but his skating is good enough, and he has the offensive flair to make the NHL but possibly only as a marginal player.

Matvei GridinSummaryThe 2024 draft-eligible player was a spark in the Muskegon lineup. He has a lot of filling out to do, of course, but he has excellent speed and a super-high work rate.

Oliver MooreSummaryThere is so much to like in Moore's game, but it all starts with his feet. He is a full-package skater, and plays a comptetitive game with a high work rate. Did not see a lot of offense from him in this game, but he showed good puckhandling ability and looks like a player who can create offense. I need additional viewings to have a better gauge of his offensive game.Brian FogartyUS vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s)Video (With Replay)2/10/202310270

Will SmithSummarySmith is an extremely skilled puck handler and passer. His stick work can look elite at times, and his vision and awareness are absolutely NHL level. However, I am concerned after watching this game that he may not be able to do those same things when the pace of the game is NHL level. As a U18, he can use his hands to beat anyone on the ice, but he will need to get his game pace to match his hands if he wants to continue to have the same kind of success against the world's best players.Brian FogartyUS vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s)Video (With Replay)2/10/202310270

Brad LambertSummaryMaybe the best skater in the draft class. His movement, acceleration, speed are all elite. He has good hands and shot, but there are too many times when he tries to do too much or doesn't try enough to get it back. So much to like, but still a lot of question marks for me. If he can develop into a player who absorbs the game instead of fighting it, he could be a top-line NHL forward. If not, he'll bounce around more, have some flashes, but never meet expectations.Brian FogartyFinland vs Austria (WJC 2022)Video (With Replay)12/27/202110262

David JiricekSummaryJiricek is the total NHL defender prospect. Good wheels, ability to move lateral and turn with top opposing forwards. He's strong on the puck and along the walls, and his balance allows him to lean into players to negate their options. He's aggressive to attack the puck when that's an option, but responsible and doesn't give up attacks. Moving up ice, he's patient with the puck and goes hard into the attack. He's going to be an excellent NHL defenseman and likely a cornerstone blueliner.Brian FogartyCzechia vs Canada (WJC 2022)Video (With Replay)12/26/202110261

Jonathan LekkerimakiSummaryLekkerimaki is a shoot-first forward who looks like he wants nothing more in life than to put the puck in the net. His wrist shot is dangerous, with a fast release and a lot of heat behind it. Several times his shot bothered the goaltender (who played an excellent game). I don't recall a single shot of Lekkerimaki's that did not result in an awkward rebound as Elias fought them off. He has good vision, but he is not a playmaking forward at this point. Skating is interesting. He has excellent dimensional movement due to his edgework, but he doesn't show exceptional speed or acceleration.Brian FogartySweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021)Video (With Replay)8/4/202110260

Juraj SlafkovskySummaryIn a game where the Slovakian jerseys (red numbers on blue field) made it incredibly difficult to identify players, Slafkovsky was a clear stand out. His size, his style, his dominance on the puck all made it fairly obvious who he was on the ice. This game was nine months old, and Slafkovsky has grown into his game even more in the meantime, but he's a clear power forward NHL talent.Brian FogartySweden vs Slovakia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021)Video (With Replay)8/4/202110260

Matthias PischoffSummaryThe first thing that stood out to me was that remarkable lateral movement and constant activity off the puck. He can be a good penalty killer at any level with that movement and his active stick and willingness to block shots. Offensively, he had two nice goals, showing off a good, quick release. He'll need to get into the middle more, but if he does, he could be a sleeper.Brian FogartySweden vs Germany (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2021)Video (With Replay)8/2/202110258

Simon NemecSummaryThe best defender in his draft class, by far. Smart with the puck and without it, keeps his positioning in his own end against even the highly skilled and super fast US forwards, and creates advantages with ease.

Luca MarrelliNoteOffensive zone draw left circle and Marrelli is lined up on the left point. He plays there on the powerplay, as well, taking advantage of his right-handed shot.Brian FogartyKingston vs Oshawa (OHL)Video (With Replay)1/24/202210254

Calum RitchieSummaryHas all of the tools and the work rate to be a top-six NHL forward at the least. His skating and balance may not be elite level, but it is certainly very good and likely to get better.

Egor GoriunovSummaryAn interesting player, mostly because of his length and agility. Showed good hands at times, and protected the puck well, but there simply wasn’t much creativity to his game. Got knocked off the puck a few times, but showed good balance. His play in the defensive zone was clearly lacking and disappointing.

Would like to see more of his shooting from range before making a determination on his shooting ability. Good skater, nothing exceptional, but again, plays down low so much that his skating isn’t really an issue either way.Brian FogartySherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL)Video (With Replay)11/21/202110251

Hugo PrimeauSummaryDoesn’t play like a 5’8 Center. Strong on his skates, digs in on his edges to drive strength and balance. Good skater but doesn’t stand out as a speedster.

Joshua RoyNoteVirtually no physicality in his game.Brian FogartySherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL)Video (With Replay)11/21/202110251
Joshua RoySummaryThe high points of his game are his patient vision and passing ability. He'll hold the puck until the good option appears, then move the puck accordingly. Unfortunately, if the option doesn't appear, he tends to force a play and often turned the puck over because of it. Did not show much of a shot other than the one-time snap shot which is a weapon. Lackluster in his own end. He will need to amp up his physical play and be willing to get his jersey dirty as he moves up levels.Brian FogartySherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL)Video (With Replay)11/21/202110251

Zachary LessardSummaryI liked him as a young defenseman who is obviously still adjusting to the pace in the Q. Plays a quick game, with a good jump in acceleration and lateral movement which allows him to be the first player to the loose pucks, and then his quick hands get the puck up and out of his zone in a hurry. Quality passing on the breakout. Positionally good, got pushed around a bit but fought to regain inside position and used his feet to recover when necessary. Had he been born a week or so later he would be a 2023 draft eligible.Brian FogartySherbrooke vs Victoriaville (QMJHL)Video (With Replay)11/21/202110251

Bryce McConnell-BarkerSummaryOn a typically fast and skilled Greyhounds team, McConnell-Barker playing on the second line, was consistently involved in the play when he was on the ice. He has very good acceleration and pushes pace whenever possible, either on the forecheck or in off-the-puck transition through the neutral zone. He drew attention on every shift, and offensively showed good ice awareness and passing ability, A play-driving, 6'1 Center with speed and work rate is a commodity that NHL teams look for.

Ty NelsonSummaryThe Battalion's top offensive defenseman. He stands just 5'10, but weighs nearly 200 pounds and moves that weight around the ice with ease. He may be a work in progress, trying to build up better game intelligence in the defensive zone, but he plays with an edge, transitions the puck extremely well, and wants to get in on the attack. Sixteen games into the season, he is nearly a point-per-game player and has more than double the points than the second-highest-scoring defender on the roster.Brian FogartyNorth Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL)Video (With Replay)10/22/202110246

Beau AkeyNoteAnother example of his poise and mobility: steps up to a loose puck, snags it and reverses, then turns away from the forechecker and makes a perfect bank pass off the end boards behind his goal, hitting his defensive partner perfectly.

David GoyetteSummaryGoyette has excellent hockey sense and in a game in which his team looked lackluster, he kept making plays and eventually carried his team into at least some kind of contest.

Evan KonyenSummaryIf not for Konyen and Goyette, the Wolves would have fared much worse than even the lopsided score represents.

Haight tries to cover both, and gets a partial tip as he pokes at the puck, but not enough to prevent the goal.

Denton MateychukSummaryMateychuk is the prototype transition defender who can carry the puck with speed and maneuverability through the neutral zone. He can lead or join the rush, shows a high scoring drive, and more often than not, ends his shifts in the offensive zone. However, he is also sound positionally in his own end, and despite his push up ice, I don't recall seeing him not getting back into position when the puck went the other way. Speedy, balanced, agile.

Matthew SavoieSummaryExcellent player. His passing and vision are near elite level. Skates exceptionally well, and alters pace as necessary to keep defenders guessing. As mentioned, his ability to pass instantly during puckhandling, equally adept forehand or backhand, freezes defenders and goalies and forces them to try to protect against both pass and shot, meaning they are often caught between choices and have a hard time defending either.

Logan CooleyNoteOne shift: comes on the ice as Muskegon is working through the neutral zone. Cooley goes hard back to cover on defense, then as the US defender gains possession, Cooley goes hard up ice, hits the blue line first and tracks down the chipped-in puck. Carries the puck behind the net, around to the right halfboards, passes to the left circle then continues out around the top. Curls back to the left point, then to the center point where he takes a pass, splits two opponents at the top of the left circle, backhands to McGroarty in the slot. Goal.

Logan CooleySummaryProbably the best player in the game, with speed, a wide variety of effective shot selection that he used well and excellent vision. He was constantly on the move, as typified by the shift description in the notes (which was not an abnormal type of shift for Cooley).

Jordan GustafsonSummaryHe was hit and miss in the game, showing very skating ability and some offensive flair. However, he made plenty of mistakes, too.

Kevin KorchinskiSummaryKorchinski looked like an excellent blue-line prospect. He has the size at 6'2, 185 in his draft year, with excellent skating and high hockey iq. His poise on and off the puck is truly remarkable. His passing is superb and consistently well-selected. His positioning may have been off a couple of times, but he often corrected quickly, and his active stick and long reach helped to compensate. Several times he simply swept the puck off of the attacker's stick. Just an excellent two-way player. Brian FogartySeattle vs Tri-City (WHL)Video (With Replay)10/22/202110242

Jordan DumaisNoteGive and go, Desnoyers to Dumais to Desnoyers, goal.Brian FogartyShawinigan vs Halifax (QMJHL)Video (With Replay)10/15/202110240
Jordan DumaisSummaryHighly skilled player getting a lot of minutes on the top line, and for good reason. His hands are so fast, and his read of the play so good, that the puck continues to find him, and when it does, he makes the opposition pay. He plays with speed, but it's his hockey sense that puts him where he should be. Not appearing on any of the main 2022 draft lists yet, but he will. I can see him as a first-round pick at this point.

Xavier BourgaultSummaryLooks like a complete package NHL player. Plays a super-smart game, and his passing is not only accurate and easily handled, but he makes the right passes at the right times to set up his linemates for aggressive attacks. He skates well, and shows good speed, but it is his strength on his feet and in his hands that allows him to play the type of game that he does. He looks like an NHLer, and maybe only his shot needs work.

Mathieu CatafordSummaryPlays with a spark. He has quickness that he uses to his advantage both with the puck and on the forecheck. Made good choices and showed a willingness to draw pressure to make a play. Has a scorers intentions and goes to the danger areas to make plays.Brian FogartyHalifax vs Cape Breton (QMJHL)Video (With Replay)10/2/202110239

Miguel TourignyNoteShowing off his speed as he carries the puck through the neutral zone, then gets tripped by a diving defender, and still manages to sweep the puck to the top of the crease for an easy tap-in goal.

Brody LambSummaryThis was a game early in the season, and the entire affair was sloppy and disjointed, and Lamb's play was no exception. I think at best it was a good opportunity to see some of his skating mechanics, which looked good to very good. There was so little smooth puck play in the game, so not much to note about his puck handling, etc. Brian FogartyGreen Bay vs Des Moines (USHL)Video (With Replay)9/24/202110237

Cross HanasNoteFighting for a loose puck at the goal mouth, pokes it in. Tough, greasy goal.

Joseph VelenoNoteVeleno seems to like it down low on the right side and ripping shots on net from about the goal line. He scored there in an earlier game, and hit the post this time. Brian FogartyDetroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City ProsVideo (With Replay)9/19/202110236

Martin RysavyNotePlaying a mostly passive game at both ends.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City ProsVideo (With Replay)9/19/202110236
Martin RysavyNoteGood example of the passivity: puck on the offensive boards between two Detroit players about five feet apart.

Navrin MutterNoteThere's something about him that is so intriguing to me. Size, decent skating, decent hockey sense, and physicality that intimidates opponents. He just doesn't score, otherwise he would be an excellent pro prospect.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City ProsVideo (With Replay)9/19/202110236
Navrin MutterNoteMutter: guess what? Yep. A big hit along the boards. Then another one. Then he circles to the slot and gets a good chance, saved. Brian FogartyDetroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City ProsVideo (With Replay)9/19/202110236
Navrin MutterNoteDrives, turns at a glide with the puck in front of him, eyes up, passes through the defender's triangle and sets up a beautiful chance.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City ProsVideo (With Replay)9/19/202110236

Yegor ChinakhovNoteNice look to the slot to Sillinger in space, but the pass was a bit off target and Sillinger couldn't bring it in. Too bad.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City ProsVideo (With Replay)9/19/202110236
Yegor ChinakhovNoteDriving the right side, drops to Sillinger, circles in front of the net, then recognizes that the left defenseman had pinched in low, so Chinakhov hurries back to the blue line to cover.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City ProsVideo (With Replay)9/19/202110236
Yegor ChinakhovNotePlays patiently, engaged but not overly aggressive, especially without the puck. It's like you can see him thinking, making the calculations, winding the spring.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City ProsVideo (With Replay)9/19/202110236
Yegor ChinakhovNoteRocket one-timer from the right circle, hits traffic and bounces so high straight up that all the players at the net stopped to wait for it to come back down.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City ProsVideo (With Replay)9/19/202110236
Yegor ChinakhovNoteSubtle play to adjust his skating line and just basically create a running screen all through the defensive zone, allowing his D a chance to start the breakout.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City ProsVideo (With Replay)9/19/202110236
Yegor ChinakhovNoteRocket one-timer from the top of the right circle (sound familiar?) that beats the netminder clean. What an excellent one-timer he has from there.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City ProsVideo (With Replay)9/19/202110236
Yegor ChinakhovNoteTime running out at the end of the second period, he has the puck on the wall just inside the blue line, and he wires a wrist shot that the goaltender had to fight off with his blocker.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City ProsVideo (With Replay)9/19/202110236
Yegor ChinakhovNoteHis wrist shot is hard and deceptive, and he can get it away from odd body positions.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City ProsVideo (With Replay)9/19/202110236
Yegor ChinakhovNoteDriving the neutral zone, passes to Sillinger on his left across to the blue line, takes an angle into space in front of Sillinger. When Sillinger passes to him, Chinakhov--with his back to the puck--lets the puck slide through his skates until it is in front of his left foot, then he one-times a snap shot on goal. Made me gasp. The play-by-play announcer didn't even know how to describe the play. Brian FogartyDetroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City ProsVideo (With Replay)9/19/202110236
Yegor ChinakhovNotePuck at the blue line, Chinakhov in the high slot with his back to the net, facing the puck. Takes the pass, circles out to just inside the blue line, goes to the very high slot area, then blasts a 45-foot wrist shot over the goalie's shoulder. Wow!Brian FogartyDetroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City ProsVideo (With Replay)9/19/202110236
Yegor ChinakhovNoteGoodness. Another one-time slapper from the top of the right circle. Excellent weight transfer. Blows it past the goaltender who was set up and ready but never even flinched. Hat trick.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City ProsVideo (With Replay)9/19/202110236
Yegor ChinakhovSummaryA smart player with excellent on-ice awareness and an upper-echelon shot. Skates well, and his balance is particularly evident in his ability to get his shot away no matter what his body position is. He's not a dynamic, game-breaking hockey player, and as such, I'm not sure that he'll become a top-line NHLer, but I'd be surprised if he wasn't a good second-line scoring winger. He passes well and sees the ice so well, and he is a creative offensive player without being a puck hog or neglecting his responsibilities.

Joseph VelenoNoteMuscles his way through a check in the corner and leads a breakout. That's the kind of possession play that will earn Veleno his paychecks.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235
Joseph VelenoSummaryDoesn't look that different from what I've seen from him before. Strong possession forward, good offensive tools, nothing spectacular but a workman-like player who has an NHL future.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235

Kirill TyutyayevNoteBut… when the Wings get a turnover and break out, he's up ice fast on a 3-on-2 and buries a wrist shot short side top shelf. He held to puck long enough to freeze the goaltender, then roofed it over his shoulder. Nice shot.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235

Kirill TyutyayevNoteGets the puck, turns his man to the net, goal.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235
Kirill TyutyayevSummaryProbably the most effective player in the game, regardless of the goals he scored. Every shift he had the puck and made something happen. Has the speed, offensive mindset, good play going back. Does not look like he is as small as he is listed.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235
Logan StankovenNoteSecond powerplay unit.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235
Logan StankovenNoteTakes a nice diagonal route to the net, stick ready, but the pass for the corner doesn't get through to him.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235
Logan StankovenNotePlaying in the middle of the powerplay. He holds his top hand in high and tight against his chest to keep his stick blade flat on the ice but in close to his feet. Looks so awkward.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235
Logan StankovenNoteCertainly not afraid to get to the slot area. Moves fast.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235
Logan StankovenNoteChoppy acceleration that is good but can be improved.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235
Logan StankovenNoteSpeeds up the right wing boards, but can't turn the corner against McIsaac, who just plays him off the puck.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235
Logan StankovenSummaryWorked hard, but nothing seemed to break for him. I liked that he seemed fearless and willing to go to the high-traffic areas to make plays. Needs to work on some issues with his feed and hands, but if he does, he could have a good professional future.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235
Pasquale ZitoNoteTakes a bad angle to the defender and allows a clean transition with speed.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235
Pasquale ZitoNoteSpeed looks average.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235
Pasquale ZitoNoteNot very effective so far, looks off by a step or two and mostly floating at both ends.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235
Pasquale ZitoNoteTries a wraparound, but the goaltender was ready for it and makes an easy save. Too slow in developing.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235
Riley TufteNoteLooks good on the move, but his first step is listless. Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235
Riley TufteNoteBetter glider than skater. Just gets so little push and takes a long time to reset, but he can make up for some of that with his long reach.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235
Riley TufteNoteTrails the attack by a good bit because he just isn't getting up the ice fast enough.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235
Riley TufteNoteHas big drive, and as mentioned is good on the glide once he gets up to speed. Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235
Riley TufteNoteGets a ton of leverage on his snap shot so he generates a lot of power behind it. Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235
Riley TufteNoteComes out onto the ice after a change, straight into the offensive zone and a lucky puck lands right in his wheelhouse for a heavy one-time snap shot goal. Bang!Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235

Wyatt JohnstonNotePuck in his zone skips to his feet and he tries to just chop it blind out of the zone, but hits traffic at the blue line and stays in. He had time to make a more controlled play but didn't use it.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235
Wyatt JohnstonNoteCan't handle a pass and it skips away to a Red Wings player.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235

Yevgeni OksentyukNoteGets a one-time opening, but his shot goes center net, and the sprawling goaltender is able to make a save.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Dallas (2021 Traverse City ProspeVideo (With Replay)9/17/202110235

Adam SykoraSummarySykora's game is all about using his skating ability to create opportunities. He showed decent vision and game awareness, and a strong drive to push up ice into the offensive zone. He worked diligently at both ends of the ice, but he wasn't as effective as I'd like him to be. Brian FogartyRussia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky CupVideo (With Replay)8/7/202110234

Dalibor DvorskyNoteUses his long reach to hold the puck at length and sweep around the Russian forechecker in the neutral zone. Confident with the puck.Brian FogartyRussia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky CupVideo (With Replay)8/7/202110234
Dalibor DvorskyNoteExcellent work to get back and break up what could have been a quality Michkov chance.Brian FogartyRussia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky CupVideo (With Replay)8/7/202110234
Dalibor DvorskySummarySkating is above average, with good balance in tough traffic. Showed nice hands and the ability to carry the puck through the neutral zone, but he's not a puck handler. Choices were sound, puck movement quality, but his weapon is his ability to generate shots on net from within fifteen feet of the net. Brian FogartyRussia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky CupVideo (With Replay)8/7/202110234

Ivan MiroshnichenkoNoteGood positioning to the left of a goal-mouth scramble. When the puck pops out, Kvochko finds him and Miroshnichenko buries it into the open net. A little lucky, perhaps, but he was ready and in the right place.Brian FogartyRussia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky CupVideo (With Replay)8/7/202110234
Ivan MiroshnichenkoNoteGets another chance from the right of the crease, but the pass is in his feet and he couldn't get the shot away.Brian FogartyRussia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky CupVideo (With Replay)8/7/202110234

Ivan MiroshnichenkoNoteAnother goal from about the same place. He's a menace from that spot, and his teammates know he's going to be there and be ready. Brian FogartyRussia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky CupVideo (With Replay)8/7/202110234
Ivan MiroshnichenkoSummaryPlays a quiet type of game, staying low and steady at both ends of the ice, using his positioning to create and defend attacks. His main role in the offensive attack was to set up at the side of the slot and funnel shots on net, and he was good at that. Brian FogartyRussia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky CupVideo (With Replay)8/7/202110234

Matvei MichkovNoteNot to be deterred, Michkov heads back up ice, draws three defenders, then makes a fantastic pass to the side of the net, through traffic, for an easy tap-in goal.Brian FogartyRussia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky CupVideo (With Replay)8/7/202110234
Matvei MichkovSummaryEven in a game where he was drawing a ton of attention from the defenders and wasn't his most effective, he still managed to have a big impact on the game. He's not the most dynamic skater, but he is strong on his skates, and a puck possession monster. He sees the ice, knows what he wants to do, and it's difficult for the defense to prevent him from doing it. Brian FogartyRussia vs Slovakia (2021 Hnlinka-Gretzky CupVideo (With Replay)8/7/202110234

Hunter StrandNoteBeing heavily relied on to do everything in this game, and the reason is obvious. He's solid in all aspects, probably the best all-around utility forward on the team. But, there's not much spark there.Brian FogartyOmaha vs Tri-City (USHL)Video (With Replay)4/23/202110232

Dylan DukeSummaryDid a lot of little things well in the game, gaining inside position at the crease, making himself available for passes, working into open spaces, and working hard on the defensive side of the game.

Lukas PajerNoteSteals a puck in his own end, drives up ice diagonally, entering the offensive zone along the left boards, but loses an edge pulling up. He then hustles back, lifts a stick, dives to block a shot.Brian FogartyUSA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s)Video (With Replay)4/29/202110231
Lukas PajerNoteAnother smart, safe play, this time to chip the puck past a defender and clear his own zone. He put the puck into empty space and allowed his side to get relief from the US pressure and reset.Brian FogartyUSA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s)Video (With Replay)4/29/202110231
Lukas PajerSummaryThere are a lot of good things in his game, but it's his one-timer that lights up a game. He plays well, skating is excellent, and made several smart choices with and without the puck. He's a player to keep an eye on as he develops over the next three or four years. Pajer looks like the type of player who cracks the NHL at 21 or 22 and people start asking about where he came from.Brian FogartyUSA vs Czech Republic (2021 World U-18s)Video (With Replay)4/29/202110231

Rutger McGroartySummaryAn interesting young player for the 2022 draft. He has a solid frame and good speed despite not having the best skating mechanics.

Nikita ChibrikovSummaryDrove a lot of the Russian offense in the game for a player not named Michkov. He has an excellent shot that he works hard to utilize and disguise. Smart player in offensive zone. He's the type of player that can both create and finish chances, and he has a good sense of where to put the puck to make the most of the game situation.

Nikolai MakarovSummaryJust a solid, stay-at-home type of minute chewing defender. His positioning was fantastic, and he showed some good speed from time to time. He's a defender that will make life miserable for forwards trying to get to scoring spots in his zone. However, his offense seems limited, so he's a guy that teams will just park at the back end to shut down top opponents and make good first passes out of the zone.Brian FogartyRussian vs Finland (2021 World U18s)Video (With Replay)5/6/202110230

Sami PaivarintaNoteComing back to support the defense, not in a hurry but calling out coverages. Stayed behind the puck carrier though, instead of pushing to catch him.

Sami PaivarintaSummaryI liked everything about his game as long as he had the puck or was working in the offensive zone. On defense, he seemed like he understood what he was supposed to be doing, but didn't care a lot about doing it. If he sharpens up and develops play on the defensive side of the puck, he could become a quality second-line winger with scoring potential.Brian FogartyRussian vs Finland (2021 World U18s)Video (With Replay)5/6/202110230

Samu SalminenSummaryOffensive minded, but a quality hockey player at both ends of the ice. Showed a lot of potential in the game to become a top-six scoring forward in the NHL.

Fabian LysellSummaryFast and skilled with a high scoring drive, Lysell looks to be a high-pace scoring winger for the NHL level.

Isak RosenSummaryGood skater who is a natural playmaker. His vision and ability to get the puck to teammates are both excellent, and he reads the ice incredibly well. His usage and success on the penalty kill shows his defensive awareness is also very good. His shot is a weakness, though, and looks more like a tactic than a weapon.

He does have some offensive ability, but he lacks an explosiveness in his feet and in his hands that will likely limit his offensive upside as he moves up the ranks.Brian FogartyUSA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s)Video (With Replay)5/3/202110228

Sasha PastujovNoteDefinitely not afraid to shoot. He likes to put pucks on net and his wrist shot is heavy.Brian FogartyUSA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s)Video (With Replay)5/3/202110228
Sasha PastujovNoteGets a rebound at the edge of the crease and roofs it past the diving netminder. His career will likely be determined by how effective he can continue to be in that area of the ice.Brian FogartyUSA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s)Video (With Replay)5/3/202110228
Sasha PastujovNotePassing is not as natural a skill as his shooting. Passes are decently accurate, but he telegraphs them a bit, and they seem secondary options instead of chance generators.Brian FogartyUSA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s)Video (With Replay)5/3/202110228
Sasha PastujovSummaryA shoot-first player who will make his living in the homeplate area of the ice. His skating is average, but he is strong on his skates and able to maintain his position when defenders are leaning on him. He needs to develop his passing game, but his shot is quick and sharp and instinctive. Brian FogartyUSA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s)Video (With Replay)5/3/202110228

Sean BehrensNoteGets a puck at the blue line, dips left and gets around two Swedish players to the outside, wrists one on net. He's an elusive puck carrier.Brian FogartyUSA vs Sweden (2021 World U18s)Video (With Replay)5/3/202110228

Sean BehrensSummaryAn interesting player from the back end. He lacks a top gear, but his ability to maneuver through traffic and beat defenders despite not being super fast is impressive. He timed his attacks well, and played a smart game in transition, particularly. Still shaky in his own end (Lysell faked him out of his skates on one play), but he could become a good middle pair, transitional defenseman.

Chase BertholetNoteHas the puck in his end, top of the right circle facing his goal.

Connor BedardSummaryI will never get tired of watching Bedard play. He does everything so well, and has that innate sense for the game around him. His shot has a ferocious quality to it that everyone has to respect, and then his vision and passing are just as good or better. Makes plays at speed, but also slows the game down when he needs it that way. Just a brilliant player. Brian FogartyRegina vs Winnipeg (WHL)Video (With Replay)4/3/202110227

Conor GeekieSummaryFor a young player with his size (6'4, 205), he uses his body as a weapon, which many skilled young big guys either avoid or have not yet learned. Geekie's passing are excellent, but he misfired on shots a couple of times an looked a bit awkward in setting up his shot. Needs to work on his acceleration and footwork, but that looks correctible and will get better with time. I wouldn't say he is a top prospect, but he could be a good prospect.

Connor BedardSummaryDid not disappoint in his WHL debut. It's obvious why Bedard is playing at 15, and other than maybe Ozzy Weisblatt, he was easily the most electric player on the ice. He is impossible to handle when he has the puck, and has a range of deceptive moves and puckhandling to protect the puck and create shooting lanes. Without the puck, he is constantly engaged all over the ice, and although his defense needs some development, he wasn't shy about using his body and looked eager to contribute to defending the net. He's an excellent skater and like all aspects of his game, his skating will improve with strength and experience. Definitely the real thing. Just a fantastic hockey player.Brian FogartyPrince Albert vs Regina (WHL)Video (With Replay)3/12/202110226

Keegan SlaneyNoteVery quick, and he uses that to help cover gaps. Not too fond of his puck management so far.Brian FogartyMedicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL)Video (With Replay)3/5/202110225
Keegan SlaneyNoteGets in short-handed, winds up a slap shot. His backswing is slow to develop, giving goalies a tick of extra time to prepare for the shot.Brian FogartyMedicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL)Video (With Replay)3/5/202110225
Keegan SlaneyNoteGetting a ton of ice time in this game.Brian FogartyMedicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL)Video (With Replay)3/5/202110225
Keegan SlaneyNoteAnother questionable puck decision leads to a two-on-one against, and he's forced to chase back. His speed again helping him to recover from his mistake.Brian FogartyMedicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL)Video (With Replay)3/5/202110225
Keegan SlaneyNoteRecovers a loose puck behind his own net, then backhands it out to the slot, right to a Medicine Hat player for a good scoring chance against.Brian FogartyMedicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL)Video (With Replay)3/5/202110225
Keegan SlaneySummaryNeeds to tidy up his defensive game a lot, and improve on his decisions with the puck, but other than being just 5'9, he has good tools. He is quick, can use his feet to cover his mistakes and take away space from attackers. However, he will absolutely have to limit those mistakes or players at the next level will take full advantage and his speed won't help him nearly as much.Brian FogartyMedicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL)Video (With Replay)3/5/202110225
Brendan BrissonNoteTries to slip a little pass across the crease to a wide open Beecher, but the puck clips the defender's skate and bobbles out of Beecher's reach.Brian FogartyMichigan vs Arizona State (NCAA)Video (With Replay)11/14/202010224
Brendan BrissonNoteDriving the high slot without the puck, but the pass was too hard and into his skates. I'd like to see him adjust a bit better, but that was tough handle.Brian FogartyMichigan vs Arizona State (NCAA)Video (With Replay)11/14/202010224
Brendan BrissonNoteRips a pass through traffic, but I think that it surprised Beecher, and the puck skips out into the neutral zone.Brian FogartyMichigan vs Arizona State (NCAA)Video (With Replay)11/14/202010224
Cam YorkNoteKeeps turning his back to the puck. He needs to get that habit out of his game, and now.Brian FogartyMichigan vs Arizona State (NCAA)Video (With Replay)11/14/202010224
John BeecherNoteLooks huge out there.Brian FogartyMichigan vs Arizona State (NCAA)Video (With Replay)11/14/202010224

John BeecherNotePulls a puck down with a high stick, which means that the puck was probably twenty feet in the air.Brian FogartyMichigan vs Arizona State (NCAA)Video (With Replay)11/14/202010224
John BeecherSummaryGreat size, excellent on faceoffs and when he wants to use it, he can be quite fast. However, at this point he still seems fairly one-dimensional in the offensive zone and lacks creativity and fast reaction thinking.Brian FogartyMichigan vs Arizona State (NCAA)Video (With Replay)11/14/202010224
Kent JohnsonNoteDiving attempt to sweep the puck away from an attacking forward at the blue lineBrian FogartyMichigan vs Arizona State (NCAA)Video (With Replay)11/14/202010224
Kent JohnsonNoteSlick, behind his back pass into an open space at the blue line, finding Beniers is stride for a clean zone entry that appeared out of nowhere. Wow.Brian FogartyMichigan vs Arizona State (NCAA)Video (With Replay)11/14/202010224
Kent JohnsonNoteAnother great play to get the puck to Beniers. He poked the puck away just inside the blue to keep zone possession, then makes a lateral pass while falling to find Beniers.Brian FogartyMichigan vs Arizona State (NCAA)Video (With Replay)11/14/202010224
Kent JohnsonNotePuck on a string, helps keep the play in the offensive zone, then gets a shot in close, and Beniers buries the rebound. Brian FogartyMichigan vs Arizona State (NCAA)Video (With Replay)11/14/202010224
Kent JohnsonSummaryJust an outstanding NCAA debut, showing patience, tenacity and super-clever passing vision. This game got out of control quickly (Michigan was up six goals before the end of the second period), so I want to see him in close combat, but he's fun to watch.Brian FogartyMichigan vs Arizona State (NCAA)Video (With Replay)11/14/202010224
Matthew BeniersNoteSkates are not coming back underneath him on the return, instead his feet are wide setBrian FogartyMichigan vs Arizona State (NCAA)Video (With Replay)11/14/202010224

Matthew BeniersNoteWorks just as hard in the defensive zone as he does up ice. I really love this kid's game.Brian FogartyMichigan vs Arizona State (NCAA)Video (With Replay)11/14/202010224
Matthew BeniersSummaryDoes everything so well, including getting deep into his own zone and playing solid defense to win back pucks. He is highly aware at all times, shows excellent anticipation with and without the puck, and is constantly looking for ways to produce and help his team.

Owen PowerNoteBacks with the puck, dragging the forechecker deeper and deeper, then flips a pass to his D partner and Michigan goes fast up the ice. Power steps around the forechecker and beats him to the neutral zone for a five-on-four attack.Brian FogartyMichigan vs Arizona State (NCAA)Video (With Replay)11/14/202010224
Owen PowerNoteSmart choice to pull up a bit and allow the attacking forward to reach a loose puck first, which gave Power a better line and the angle to rub him off on the boards and gain puck possession.Brian FogartyMichigan vs Arizona State (NCAA)Video (With Replay)11/14/202010224

Owen PowerNoteLooking a bit lost tracking the speed of play in the defensive zone on that sequence. He was holding his spot more than playing active defense.Brian FogartyMichigan vs Arizona State (NCAA)Video (With Replay)11/14/202010224
Owen PowerNoteExcellent pass to feed York sneaking in on the left side, who then beats the goalie five hole. Great look.Brian FogartyMichigan vs Arizona State (NCAA)Video (With Replay)11/14/202010224
Owen PowerSummaryFor a draft-year defenseman playing his first NCAA game, Powers looks composed and in control almost the entire game. There were a couple of moments of indecision, but otherwise he was on top the game, making plays with his feet, his body, and his offensive game. Nice passing, safe reads, and moves so well for such a big guy. Just an outstanding prospect and a top draft prospect for sure.Brian FogartyMichigan vs Arizona State (NCAA)Video (With Replay)11/14/202010224
Thomas BordeleauNoteBuzzing around the offensive zone (as usual), pulls the goalie way out of position but just can't quite tuck the puck in around the post. Brian FogartyMichigan vs Arizona State (NCAA)Video (With Replay)11/14/202010224

Alexander PashinNoteWheels and energy, especially in the offensive end. Just started a great give and go, but his partner took too long to get the puck back to Pashin or he would have been in all alone with the goalie.Brian FogartyCanada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019)Video (With Replay)8/12/201910223

Alexander PashinNoteShould have moved the puck instead of trying to speed his way behind his net and up the boards. He got caught and buried and turned the puck over in his own zone.Brian FogartyCanada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019)Video (With Replay)8/12/201910223
Alexander PashinSummaryPashin fits that typical small, crafty player mode that has had success in the NHL. He plays at both ends of the ice, and is willing to play a physical game despite his size. He is a player that drives play toward the offensive zone, and is capable of scoring once he gets there. He has a quality wrist shot with power and accuracy from distance. Brian FogartyCanada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019)Video (With Replay)8/12/201910223
Dmitri ZlodeyevNoteTied up his man a defensive-zone faceoff, and he's locked up at the crease. He stays there, keeping position well, then when the puck exits the zone he's up ice and puts a good solid hit on Weisblatt.

Marat KhusnutdinovNoteTries a shoulder fake, the defender doesn't bite, so he passes to his winger. Good choice on a play where many would try to power through the defender instead of finding the better option.Brian FogartyCanada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019)Video (With Replay)8/12/201910223
Marat KhusnutdinovNoteSkating is nice and compact, not much wasted movement, and the result is good speed and acceleration.Brian FogartyCanada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019)Video (With Replay)8/12/201910223
Marat KhusnutdinovNoteKilling penalties and his mobility is a key asset for that.Brian FogartyCanada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019)Video (With Replay)8/12/201910223

Marat KhusnutdinovSummaryA smooth skater who plays up and down the ice and looks well coached. A player who contributes something on every shift. He might not be the most talented player on the ice, but he will be among the hardest working and looks willing to do all the little things well to make his team successful. He will grind, cycle, play defense, pick out good plays. Brian FogartyCanada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019)Video (With Replay)8/12/201910223

Pavel TyutnevNoteCruises the offensive blue line looking for something to come free, and he's reading those opportunities well. This time he cuts in, tries a move and loses the puck.

Shakir MukhamadullinNoteYou can see the skillset, height, skating, etc., but he looks tentative and a bit lacking in his positioning and physical game around his net. Brian FogartyCanada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019)Video (With Replay)8/12/201910223
Shakir MukhamadullinNoteCan’t handle Foudy's speed, and he gets beaten on the turn and Foudy scores. No shame in losing a skating match to Foudy, but Mukhamadullin could have leaned on him more heavily and cut him off better.Brian FogartyCanada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019)Video (With Replay)8/12/201910223
Shakir MukhamadullinSummaryLooks like a project defenseman that has the tools necessary to be an NHL defenseman but will need some time to fill out, get more comfortable in his own end, and get a bit of snarl into his game. After this game, he looks like a player that might be better suited to a less physical, big-ice-surface game in which he can use his feet and length. More of a puck mover than a carrier, but he does move the puck well.Brian FogartyCanada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019)Video (With Replay)8/12/201910223

Dawson MercerNoteHis full-out mechanics are not clean. He doesn't get enough extension or power in his pushes. If he cleans that up he'll get faster at the top end. Brian FogartyChicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL)Video (With Replay)10/19/201910222
Dawson MercerSummarySimply one of my favorite players of this draft, and has been for a while. He looks lean, and his power skating needs work, but his is agile and rarely loses out on getting to the spot before his opponents. His hockey iq is ridiculous, which helps overcome the missing top gear. But it's his hands that shine when he has the puck on his stick, and he seems to see plays no one else notices. Just a fantastic player and a potential NHL superstar.Brian FogartyChicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL)Video (With Replay)10/19/201910222

Hendrix LapierreSummaryA great skater who works efficiently but can cover the ice when he needs to. Has a good passing touch and makes good choices with the puck. The team around him in the early part of the season was without a lot of pieces to help him, and it showed. Still, was effective on his shifts, always getting good touches, and he worked hard at both ends of the ice.Brian FogartyChicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL)Video (With Replay)10/19/201910222

Jacob DionSummaryA solid young two-way defenseman who plays a sound game in his end, but uses his feet to get the puck out of the zone. He's hard to pin down in his own end, and if he can't skate the puck out, his outlet passes are safe and accurate.Brian FogartyChicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL)Video (With Replay)10/19/201910222

He plays the game well, and as a D+1 I think he's likely to get drafted in the later rounds because he seems to have progressed enough this year to make him a safer bet for some teams. He'll struggle to get a permanent spot in the NHL, I think, because he lacks that dynamic quality to his game that a 5'7 player needs in the top league in the game.

Alex JohnstonNoteTries a quick shot from below the circle and misses the net.Brian FogartySault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL)Video (With Replay)12/19/201910221
Alex JohnstonSummaryAt times Johnston looks like a player who will make a difference, but then his skating or decisions fail him. His straight-ahead skating is good, but his turns are not crisp enough, which leaves him slowing on his change of direction and magnifying any poor choices he makes on angles of attack. He often missed the net even when in close, which is a shame because he kept working hard and getting into the spots on the ice where he could make an impact but his hands and feet failed him when he got there.

Brandt ClarkeNoteTries to spin a backhand pass out to the point on the powerplay. Not a great choice, almost intercepted for a breakaway. He needed to be smarter with the puck there. Brian FogartySault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL)Video (With Replay)12/19/201910221

Brandt ClarkeNoteStandard setup has him on the left halfboards while on the powerplay.Brian FogartySault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL)Video (With Replay)12/19/201910221
Brandt ClarkeSummaryClarke was involved in all facets of the game, including on the top powerplay unit with a lot of responsibility to work the puck on the left side, He is a skilled puckhandler and a great skater, using his power and edges effectively. Mobile and quick while changing directions, he's able to slightly shift his position efficiently when needed. He looks like a defenseman who plays behind his blue line with the sole intent of regaining possession and pushing play back into the offensive zone. A few of his choices while puckcarrying were a bit over-exuberant and risky, but in general his play was quite sound with and without the puck. He passes well and has a quick release on his shot either in close or from range. A 2021 player to watch closely.Brian FogartySault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL)Video (With Replay)12/19/201910221
Dominic MufarrehNoteDump and chase sequence and he goes hard to the end boards to dig for the puck. Good effort, hard work against a couple of opponents. Brian FogartySault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL)Video (With Replay)12/19/201910221
Dominic MufarrehNoteFirst step off the faceoff has snap, then a smooth pivot to backwards and turning speed, fast to the boards to chase a puck.

Ryan Del MonteSummaryDel Monte has good speed and mechanics but looked like a raw player who has not yet adapted to the speed of play in the OHL. He's a slight player at 158 pounds, but at 16 years of age, he has a lot of time ahead of him to develop.Brian FogartySault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL)Video (With Replay)12/19/201910221

Ryan O'RourkeSummaryMakes quiet impacts on each shift. He plays the game like a high-quality defensive forward, and plays the left point on the top powerplay unit. He's all around the puck and is the type of player that the puck loves to find when he is out there. Smart, simple game that with a bit of polishing will be NHL-caliber.Brian FogartySault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL)Video (With Replay)12/19/201910221

Tyson FoersterNoteShorthanded, teammate creates a turnover and Foerster goes hard with him, pulls up at the far post. A great effort by his teammate who cuts back and then drives to the net and slips the puck to Foerster, who then pots it into an open net. I like Foerster's patience and recognition there, to set up and wait for the play to develop and trusting his teammate to get the job done.Brian FogartySault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL)Video (With Replay)12/19/201910221

Tyson FoersterSummaryAnother quality showing from Foerster. He stood out by his high work-rate with and without the puck, tenaciously attacking on defense and offense. He moves his feet all the time, and shows excellent skating ability that with his size at 6'1 and 183 pounds makes him a force on the ice and a difficult opponent to play against. Has a variety of shots that he will use from the top of the circles in. A quality passer who makes good choices with the puck and rarely looks selfish with the puck. He does not look like a player who will break defenses apart by himself, but he will be a key contributor to a team attack. I like his play a lot and he looks like he will become a possession-driving top six NHL forward.Brian FogartySault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL)Video (With Replay)12/19/201910221

Vladislav DvurechenksySummaryDid not see much ice time in the game after Barrie fell behind the Soo quickly and their bench got incredibly short. When he was on the ice, he showed good skating and effort, working hard in all zones and moving his feet. A couple of passes looked more deliberate than natural, but in general his game looked okay especially for a big body forward playing in just his fourth OHL game.Brian FogartySault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL)Video (With Replay)12/19/201910221

Anton LundellNoteFinland hits the zone with speed, Lundell going to the slot without the puck, attentive, stick ready, get the pass buts its out in front of him. He reaches out, pulls it back just slightly and snipes a filthy, off-balance wrist shot top corner. He was extended and he still got that puck away so fast and with such power that the puck was in the net as the goalie was just starting to move his glove hand.

Anton LundellSummaryA great forward prospect with size and a ton of skill. He competes hard all the time, has what seems to be an insatiable scoring drive, and he is a tremendous skater. When he has the puck, defending teams pull back trying to cut down his opportunities for powering the puck to the net, but his passing and shot are so good that he can punish opponents for giving him too much space. Lundell is the type of player that will draw a lot of pressure in the NHL, because the only way to contain him is to be on top of him. So talented, and he is a special, hungry player.Brian FogartyCanada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s)Video (With Replay)4/18/201910220

Alex LaferriereSummaryHe has the size, skating and scoring ability to be a good producing winger in the NHL, but he'll need to learn to play better within his limits. Sometimes, he's trying to do too much, and he was not particularly effective in this game. He did show some flashes of creativity and pure puck skills, but overall, with little help from his teammates, he did not show that well. I have a feeling I wasn't seeing him on his best night and the US U18s are a tough squad to battle. Brian FogartyDes Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL)Video (With Replay)11/15/201910219

Brett BerardNoteLooks so comfortable with the puck. He can step, switch back, twirl, handling the puck, then make a 60-foot pass look too easy.Brian FogartyDes Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL)Video (With Replay)11/15/201910219
Brett BerardSummaryBerard's game is poise and skill, with quality skating abilities thrown in on top. He moves the puck with authority, although he seems more of a distributor than a scorer. His skating gets him into and out of tight spots, and he looks confident that he can escape trouble whenever he needs to. Moves the puck expertly, both in technique and reads, and often finds the player who needs the puck the most. Played well in his zone, but he looked a lot better moving forward. Has a bit of bite to his game, too.Brian FogartyDes Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL)Video (With Replay)11/15/201910219

Chase YoderSummaryPlayed a solid two-way game, and was disruptive in the neutral zone, getting in lanes, picking off passes, using his feet to cause problems for the Buccaneers.

Dylan PetersonNoteBad choices off of the puck, either looking to cherry pick, or even backing out of his defensive zone hoping (seemingly) that the player with the puck will try to pass to the blue line. What was that?Brian FogartyDes Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL)Video (With Replay)11/15/201910219

Dylan PetersonSummaryPeterson is a big body that plays his game in the slot, but doesn't look too great away from his comfort zone. He needs to improve his power skating, and often his game seemed pedestrian. He has a good release, even though at times he struggled to get the puck on net. However, when Berard and Beniers set him up, he looked dangerous.Brian FogartyDes Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL)Video (With Replay)11/15/201910219

Matthew BeniersSummaryBeniers is a multi-tooled top prospect for the 2021 draft. He plays with energy up and down the ice, is a creative playmaker who can rip the puck when necessary.

Brendan BrissonSummaryBrisson's game is built up from his outstanding skating ability, which allows him to outmaneuver most players on the ice against him. He can evade and turn opponents with little effort, and has the hands necessary to make plays that his feet afford him. Probably the most effective player in the game, involved in the play on nearly every shift, and willing to get his hands a bit dirty. He generally avoided physical contact, but was willing to take a hit when necessary. He looks a lot like a second-line NHL winger.

Carson BantleSummaryA lot to like about his game, including his skating which seems like it will improve. He's big and strong (6'4, 201 pounds), competes hard to get the puck up ice, but he has some bad habits that need to be corrected, particularly with his propensity to float at the blue line looking to go up ice while he teammates battle for pucks in the defensive zone. He also gets his hands up high and dished out some questionable high hits on the boards. In his defense, he's playing on a bad team, and he looked a lot like a player just trying to make something happen. Brian FogartyChicago vs Madison (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/28/202010218

Gunnarwolfe FontaineSummaryShowed several times that he has quick hands and the ability to move through traffic with and without the puck. He is a fairly agile skater who, at 5'8, 174 pounds, has a solid frame that can stand up to contact, and he was willing to go to the crease and battle for his spot. Good offensive instincts, too, with a fine release and an eye for finding open space when he has the puck, sliding into shooting lanes.Brian FogartyChicago vs Madison (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/28/202010218

Sean FarrellSummaryI was not impressed with him in this game. He spent too much time cruising along the outside of the action. He went several shifts without even touching the puck, despite playing on the top line and spending a good bit of time in the offensive zone. When he did have the puck, he tended to hold it too long and work his way into trouble more than getting out of it. Maybe it was a bad game for him, but I wasn't a fan of this one.Brian FogartyChicago vs Madison (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/28/202010218

Jake SandersonNoteHis first push is a weapon. He covers so much ice in a single step.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Jake SandersonNotePassing is okay. He doesn't put much heat on them even when required, and they seem to be just a tad bit off the mark.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Jake SandersonNoteTries a check, but is off his line, and he sticks out a leg. Lucky that wasn't called.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Jake SandersonNoteDefending what was basically a broken-play three-on-one, and he positioned himself perfectly to try to cover both passing options, and eventually intercepted a weak pass attempt.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Jake SandersonNoteHandles a tough pass, then puts a hard shot on net.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Jake SandersonSummaryHis size combined with his pure skating ability, and his excellent acceleration, are easily NHL level. He reads the play well, taking good lines to find the right spots in his zone. His backward skating is good, though his crossovers take him wide at times instead of a more linear route. He manages the puck well on the powerplay, running the play from the blue line. He did not show a tendency to rush passes and chose good times to shoot instead of moving the puck. He also showed good timing on pinches and attacks, and the hustle to get back to his position instead of lingering low when there was nothing for him. I'm not convinced of his offensive upside yet, but he's a smart player whose NHL future seems all but certain, in some capacity.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217

Luke TuchNoteTuch has been starting shoving matches after several stoppages. He's taking some shots at Roughrider players after the whistle, sometimes deserving, sometimes not as much.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Luke TuchNoteKnocked down yet again.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Luke TuchNoteWhat was that? Blind back pass from just past his blue line into his own end, right to a Cedar Rapids player. Ooof.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Luke TuchSummaryHad little impact on this game. His skating is okay, but at 6'1 and close to 200 pounds, he needs to be much stronger on his skates to get anything done as his career move forward. He does not have the hands or feet to be a perimeter player and he did not show the muscle or stability to be effective in traffic. I know his brother is a big, power forward type, but at this point I'm not sure if Luke will develop enough to meet that standard.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Nate HanleyNoteHalf-hearted body check works, but he mostly just stepped into the skater than hit him.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Nate HanleyNoteGood display of puck handling, but he had to make those moves because his feet were not good enough to get him out of the pressure situation.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Nikolai MayorovNoteKeeping wide and on the fringes of the play.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Nikolai MayorovNotePersistent in the offensive zone. Will work on the boards, kick pucks free, battle against bigger players.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Nikolai MayorovNoteTries to chip the puck around Kleven, takes a bump, can't get around to the puck to recover it.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Nikolai MayorovSummarySmall but sturdy players who does things well in the neutral zone and into the offensive zone. He seems to have a big scoring drive and competitive nature, but without the puck he tends to stay outside. He showed a willingness to be physical on the forecheck, and he has good hands, but he was not a very impactful player in this game.

Thomas BordeleauNoteSmall but speedy, gets his feet really wide to use his inside edges while gliding.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Thomas BordeleauNoteDoing his job, waiting at the defensive-end halfboards, takes the pass and leaves if for the rushing forward. He then follows the rush as the third man in, gets to a loose puck, and wrists it into traffic looking for a deflection. The puck is deflected wide.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Thomas BordeleauNoteTakes a hard pass with patience and soft hands.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217

Thomas BordeleauNoteThe most dangerous forward for the US in this game. He's attacking the net with speed, driving play.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Thomas BordeleauNoteLeading a two-on-one, gliding in on the right side, looking pass, looking, then snaps a hard shot that beats the goaltender but not the crossbar. That shot was so deceptive the goaltender never moved, and so hard that the rebound nearly cleared the offensive zone. Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Thomas BordeleauNoteDoing well on faceoffs, taking key defensive-zone draws on the penalty kill late in a tied game.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Thomas BordeleauSummaryProbably the best forward on this iteration of the USNTDP. He is a sub-5'10 player but has excellent skating abilities and could possibly grow a bit taller (his father, former NHLer Sebastian Borderleau, played at 5'11). Thomas has a good understanding of the game and fast reaction speed and vision, allowing him to make good, quick passes to the right options on the ice. He stays responsible on the defensive side of the puck, too. A good player, with offensive upside and the potential to be a top-six NHL forward, though he would likely shift to the wing at some point.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Ty SmilanicNotePass is a bit behind him, but he reaches back and gathers it in, crosses the blue line, and wrists one just high and wide. Decent power. That shot was close.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Ty SmilanicNoteStrong on his skates, working under physical pressure but not giving up his competition for the puck.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217

Ty SmilanicNotePoor giveaway in his own zone, just sloppy puck management.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Ty SmilanicNotePushes a shot on net more than shooting it with any zest.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Ty SmilanicNoteThere are moments when he has the puck at speed that he looks like he is finally going to do something effective, but then he inevitably makes a poor puck choice or loses it altogether. Nothing is connecting for him.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Ty SmilanicSummarySmilanic's defensive play is likely what will take him furthest in his pro career. He has good speed though, at time looking fast with and without the puck, but he lacked creativity and finishing ability. His passes were not always well-chosen or accurate, and his shot was not the most accurate, either. At this point he is not a first-rounder for me.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Tyler KlevenNoteLike his c-cuts to keep his line backwards to the net.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217

Tyler KlevenNoteTries to slow Mayorov, but mostly misses with an arm check. Still, it was enough to disrupt the play.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Tyler KlevenNoteShows nice hands and coordination as a hard rebound pops right to his feet. He handles it well and flips the puck out of the defensive zone.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
Tyler KlevenNoteWith his size (6'4, 201 pounds), I'd like to see him be more of a physical presence out there, but he isn't.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18 vs Cedar Rapids (USHL)Video (With Replay)2/21/202010217
