Player Notes

 

I started taking player notes years ago, and created the Hockey Prophets website as a way to always have quick access to them. You have access to them, too. There are currently nearly 1,450 players noted in the archive, with more than 9.300 notes. 

The Hockey Prophets Player Notes are a continually updated archive of notes taken while closely watching individual players during game action. Players are observed for key attributes such as skating ability, play recognition, shot quality, vision, defensive positioning, and more. An important thing to understand is that despite watching roughly 200 hockey games a year, I do not take notes on all games. If a player does not have specific notes in the archive does not mean that they have not been watched multiple times. It just means that I wasn't taking individual, focused notes on the player at the time. 

Below is the complete searchable archive.

Aapeli RasanenNoteBig hit on Tkachuk in the corner. Not often you see Tkachuk get dropped like that. Brian FogartyBoston University vs Boston College (NCAA)12/2/201712/10/201710148
Aapeli RasanenSummaryHad moments of skill, a bit of physicality, but was also invisible for a lot of the game. Decent wheels, but nothing in his game stood out to me.Brian FogartyBoston University vs Boston College (NCAA)12/2/201712/10/201710148
Aapeli RasanenNoteGood quick wrister for an early goal, defender lifted his stick but he was able to bear down and get the shot away.Brian FogartyBoston University vs Boston College (NCAA)12/2/201712/10/201710148
Aatos KoivuNoteGuarding the crease, takes a loose puck, wheels out of danger and clears.Brian FogartyFinland vs US (U18 WJC 2024)4/30/20245/3/202410305

Aatu RatyNoteKilling a penalty, gets up ice with the puck, mishandles, stays on it, mishandles, stays on it and then he has a chance on goal.Brian FogartyFinland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020)12/29/201912/30/201910208
Aatu RatyNoteGood interception on the penalty kill.Brian FogartyFinland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020)12/29/201912/30/201910208
Adam BeckmanNoteGoing hard back to the bench after his shift.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanNoteTop power play unit, low in the strong-side corner.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanNoteEdges are good, hands are steady and stick is ready. Works well to keep his body oriented to the play.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanNoteAs his team is breaking the puck out of the defensive zone, he heads into the neutral zone, then opens his hips and makes himself available for the breakout pass. Good awareness and skating.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanNoteUses his heel to change pass and angle of forechecking attack. Nice footwork there.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanNoteMoving to the right, pass comes across his body and he's able to lean hard on his left foot edge and get a good, off-balance wrist shot on net. He knows how to shoot the puck.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanNoteAble to collect tough passes well, and then move the puck with a second touch. He's a step ahead of the play.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanNoteAnother off-balance shot on net, this time on a one-timer from just inside the blue line. Before the puck was played out to him, he had circled back to get into a better lane and shooting space, and his shot was a dangerous one.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanNoteOne thing I'm seeing is he needs to up his physical play a bit. He looks okay in tough spots, but along the walls he's poking and reaching in instead of engaging the body.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanNoteOn the blue line, he flicks his wrists and puts a long shot on net. He's got a deceptively quick release. That one might not have had a lot of juice, but it still created havoc at the net. Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanNoteJust had to make a choice on a puck that was skittering into the zone while he was leaning into the neutral zone. He could easily have chased, but chose the smarter option to regather and not overextend.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanNoteAlso out on the penalty kill late in the first.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanNoteStarting from one blue line, Jarvis and Beckman are in footrace, Jarvis with the puck. By the redline, Jarvis has a stride, though he had a bit more run to start with and Beckman had a bit of traffic. At the next blue line, Jarvis has to slide right to evade a defender, and Beckman is about even again. I'd give the edge to Jarvis, but Beckman was close.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanNoteCollects a loose puck at the red line, fights through a stick check, powers into the zone, then drops to the trailer.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanNoteEnd of a long shift, still working hard in the defensive zone, then makes a bee-line for the bench but the puck pops out in front of him. He attacks into the offensive zone, then when the play fizzles, he still goes hard to the bench. I love that effort.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanNoteHe's the second man in on a 3-on-2, but the winger fires a pass into his skates. He can't gather, but he keeps working hard to make something happen.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanNoteHe pays attention to his defensive role, and uses good acceleration to break up plays.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanNoteDown 3-1, he's on another 3-on-2 rush, this time trailing the play. There's a net-front scramble, the puck ends up in the net, and Beckman is hugging the goal scorer like they just won the championship. He's an enthusiastic winner, this kid.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanNoteHe's in great shape. He has played a ton of high energy minutes, and hasn't slowed a step.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanNoteDoes a lot of spinning when he doesn't have the puck. It's wasted movement that will need to be excised from his game.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanNoteAnother end-of-shift opportunity, he digs deep, gets a zone entry, and heads to the bench. Discipline and hard work.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BeckmanSummaryBeckman is a well-rounded player with a scorer's touch and feel around the offensive zone. He skates well, works hard in all three zones, and plays an attentive and aware game. He lacks physicality but goes to high-traffic areas when he needs to. Good passer, good vision, though neither are particularly top end. He played a lot of minutes in all situations, and when he was on the ice, the puck typically ended up in the offensive zone. He could be a top-six winger at the NHL level if he continues to develop.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Adam BenakNoteFast up ice with the puck, tries to dangle through a couple of defenders and does, but gets tripped (no call) and slides hard into the end boards.Brian FogartyCzechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/20/202310291
Adam BenakNoteQuick but so small at 5'6.Brian FogartyCzechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/20/202310291
Adam BenakNoteHigh slot at speed, dangles his man, loads and fires a wrist shot that clips the goalie's shoulder and drops behind him but skitters to the side of the crease. Brian FogartyCzechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/20/202310291
Adam BenakNoteHis speed is excellent, and he is light on his feet.Brian FogartyCzechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/20/202310291
Adam BenakNoteLow right side on the powerplay, playing just above the goal line, and when he gets the puck he's in complete control of the entire zone.Brian FogartyCzechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/20/202310291
Adam BenakNoteHis weight shifting and edgework makes him extremely ellusive and agile.Brian FogartyCzechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/20/202310291
Adam BenakNoteHits the puck holder on the boards. Not hard, but he's getting in there.Brian FogartyCzechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/20/202310291
Adam BenakNoteHis confidence in possession, and the ability to puckhandle in any conditions or threats, is elite level stuff.Brian FogartyCzechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/20/202310291
Adam BenakNoteIf he gets to 5'9, he'll be an NHL superstar.Brian FogartyCzechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/20/202310291
Adam BenakNoteTakes a dirty, high hit from Spellacy. He was down for a minute, but then up and ready for the powerplay. Between that hit and his hard knock into the boards earlier in the game, he's taking a beating but still highly effective. Tough kid.Brian FogartyCzechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/20/202310291
Adam BenakNoteSlips his man, fires on net, and Kubiesa puts away the rebound.Brian FogartyCzechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/20/202310291
Adam BenakNoteCongested slot area, he's on the move left to right, and a kicked puck comes to his feet. He one-touches a no-look pass back between his feet onto the tape for what should have been an easy goal. That play made me gasp. So fast, so creative, so well executed.Brian FogartyCzechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/20/202310291
Adam BenakNoteWrist shot low far side is difficult for the netminder, because he has to expect everything from Benak and can’t cover it all. Brian FogartyCzechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/20/202310291
Adam BenakNoteAnother excellent pass for a tap-in goal. Perfect.Brian FogartyCzechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/20/202310291
Adam BenakSummaryFar and above every player in this game despite being a year younger. He is an amazing prospect in every way, save his height. Incredible hockey iq and hands to match the processing speed. Quick, agile, nearly untouchable, and showed some physicality and toughness, too. He just has to get taller to get his fair chance. Super talented.Brian FogartyCzechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/20/202310291
Adam BenakNoteBenak has magic in his hands and feet. Everything looks so easy for him, and his mind is always multiple steps ahead of the play. He's a tremendous talent. Brian FogartySweden vs Czechia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2024)8/9/202410/18/202410323
Adam BenakNoteHe's on the first penalty kill unit for the Czechs.Brian FogartySweden vs Czechia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2024)8/9/202410/18/202410323
Adam BenakNoteMan, what a shot! Collects top of the right circle, crossovers backward and curling to the dot, all while loading up the puck, then he throws a lightning bolt wrist shot over the shoulder short side.Brian FogartySweden vs Czechia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2024)8/9/202410/18/202410323
Adam BenakNoteSimply put, Benak is the best player in the 2025 draft class not named Hagens.Brian FogartySweden vs Czechia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2024)8/9/202410/18/202410323
Adam BenakSummaryBenak has it all, but at 5'7 there will be a lot of shy NHL general managers who will select lessor but bigger talent. One day, Benak will make them suffer for their lack of bravery.Brian FogartySweden vs Czechia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2024)8/9/202410/18/202410323
Adam BoqvistNoteFakes left, goes right, shakes the defender who then just tackles Boqvist to the iceBrian FogartyFinland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018)2/15/2018Not Available10166
Adam BoqvistNoteActivating quickly, but has the wheels to get back to his coverage when the puck goes the other way.Brian FogartyFinland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018)2/15/2018Not Available10166
Adam BoqvistNoteExcellent skaterBrian FogartyFinland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018)2/15/2018Not Available10166
Adam BoqvistNoteUses his stick and speed to disrupt a potential breakaway - smart, fast play.Brian FogartyFinland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018)2/15/2018Not Available10166
Adam BoqvistNoteSkating is effortless and so fast and agile, allows him to engage quickly and recover, but his smarts keeps him out of trouble in the first place.Brian FogartyFinland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018)2/15/2018Not Available10166
Adam BoqvistNoteTrying so hard to make something happen for the Swedes. All over the offensive zone on that powerplay sequence.Brian FogartyFinland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018)2/15/2018Not Available10166
Adam BoqvistNoteGot a lot of power on that wrist shot, just inches wideBrian FogartyFinland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018)2/15/2018Not Available10166
Adam BoqvistNoteSlings his shot more than really leaning into it, but he gets power behind it.Brian FogartyFinland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018)2/15/2018Not Available10166
Adam BoqvistNoteDistributes the puck quickly, wisely.Brian FogartyFinland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018)2/15/2018Not Available10166
Adam BoqvistSummaryBoqvist is a fast and agile skater, with excellent (or better) lateral and backwards movement and acceleration. His skating is a weapon at both ends of the ice. He is a smart player who makes good reads, and will lead rushes out of his own end. Defensively, he plays sensible, smart positional play, using angles and his skating to keep defenders away from the danger spots. In transition or on offense, he can beat defenders one-on-one, his vision in the zone is superb and his overall hockey iq is upper echelon. Shooting needs a bit of work to develop a range of shots, but shows power and accuracy on the shot he has now. Boqvist is deserving of his top-prospect status.Brian FogartyFinland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018)2/15/2018Not Available10166
Adam BoqvistNoteSaucer passes land nice and flat, with good weighting, especially soft for one-timersBrian FogartySweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018)2/13/2018Not Available10167

Adam BoqvistNoteI want to see what his slapshot looks like, but I haven't seen one yet.Brian FogartySweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018)2/13/2018Not Available10167
Adam BoqvistNotePartial breakaway, good save then he's the guy back tying up the trailer to prevent a two-on-way the other way.Brian FogartySweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018)2/13/2018Not Available10167
Adam BoqvistSummarySo impressive as a player, at both ends of the ice. He is a leader on the ice, always involved in the play at both ends, and skates beautifully. He's an it-factor player who stands out, even among the best players of his age group.Brian FogartySweden vs USA (5 Nations 2018)2/13/2018Not Available10167
Adam BoqvistNoteStill haven't seen Boqvist use a slap shot.Brian FogartyCzech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018)2/16/2018Not Available10168
Adam BoqvistNoteThere's a slap shot! A one-timer attempt, but he fanned miserably on the attempt and had to corral the loose puck and reset.Brian FogartyCzech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018)2/16/2018Not Available10168
Adam BoqvistNoteDoesn't rattle easily, this kid.Brian FogartyCzech Republic vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018)2/16/2018Not Available10168
Adam EvanoffNoteEvanoff has been incredible in this game. Facing a ton of shots, he has limited awkward rebounds, fought off traffic, and made several sensational saves even though he's been left out on a wire by himself. His lateral movement is nice. He's a battler, too.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201
Adam EvanoffNoteProbably finishes this game with 50-plus saves [Editors Note: He faces 49 shots, and saved 46 of them.]Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201
Adam FantilliNoteSliding in from the left point, shoulder fakes a shot, adds a half step towards the slot, then shoots with a clearer shooting lane.Brian FogartyU18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022)7/27/20227/27/202210269
Adam FantilliNoteShowing off his hands. Puck is bouncing everywhere, but he knocks it out of the air, tips it around the defender, skates and recovers. Makes a good pass for a dangerous chance. Nice sequence.Brian FogartyU18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022)7/27/20227/27/202210269
Adam FantilliNoteHandles the puck with deception and grace through the neutral zone.Brian FogartyU18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022)7/27/20227/27/202210269

Adam FantilliNoteHolds the puck at reach while carrying, which affords him a wider range of options to pull it back, around, etc. With his hands, he can use that reach as a weapon.Brian FogartyU18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022)7/27/20227/27/202210269
Adam FantilliNoteNice, hard shoulder contact in the corner.Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michingan (NCAA)3/18/20233/30/202310276
Adam FantilliNoteAnother good shoulder check. Really asserting a physical presence early in this game.Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michingan (NCAA)3/18/20233/30/202310276
Adam FantilliNoteProduces a ton of speed using crossovers out of his turn. Graceful power.Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michingan (NCAA)3/18/20233/30/202310276
Adam FantilliNoteHuge burst of speed there going after the long pass. Like a rocket.Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michingan (NCAA)3/18/20233/30/202310276
Adam FantilliNoteCan really fire the puck on the move. Hard, sneaky and jet-fast release.Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michingan (NCAA)3/18/20233/30/202310276

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)3/18/20233/30/202310276
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)3/18/20233/30/202310276
Adam FantilliNoteGood work to get into the corner with speed to battle for the chipped-in puck. Gets possession, moves the puck to the open man, stats a scoring-chance sequence.Brian FogartyLatvia vs Canada (WC 2023)5/27/20235/27/202310283
Adam FantilliNotePhenomenal goal from Fantilli. Hits the zone with speed, takes the pass, deke and snipe.Brian FogartyLatvia vs Canada (WC 2023)5/27/20235/27/202310283
Adam FoxNoteFox with a tough shift, tries to jump the pass but gets burned. Zachary DeVineNJEC 2016 - Team USA vs Team Canada8/5/20168/5/201610088

Adam GajarskySummaryShowed moments of offensive awareness, but was not effective in general. Had a good work rate, but made some poor decisions with and away from the puck, and was a non-factor in the gameBrian FogartyCzech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018)2/15/2018Not Available10165
Adam GinningNoteColty legs, long and thin. Skates well, though.Brian FogartyFinland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018)2/15/2018Not Available10166
Adam GinningNoteStrides look slow, but his legs are so long its hard to read.Brian FogartyFinland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018)2/15/2018Not Available10166
Adam GinningNoteBad blue-line, backhand pass that was an easy interception and quickly goes the other way.Brian FogartyFinland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018)2/15/2018Not Available10166
Adam GinningNotePasses are a bit too deliberate, telegraphing his puck movement.Brian FogartyFinland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018)2/15/2018Not Available10166
Adam GinningSummaryTall, thin defender who needs time to develop his game. There were flaws (thoughtless passing, positional problems, a slowness in his decision-making) that make me skeptical, but time will tell.Brian FogartyFinland vs Sweden (5 Nations 2018)2/15/2018Not Available10166
Adam HelewkaNoteHelewka drives the net on every drill. Not happy unless the puck gets in the net. Zachary DeVineSJS Dev Camp8/7/20168/7/201610089
Adam HelewkaNoteHelewka too far forward with his shoulders in skating drillsZachary DeVineSJS Dev Camp8/7/20168/7/201610089
Adam HelewkaNoteHelewka projects as a complementary scorer, not great with the puck on his stick, but his shot, determination and north/south game is great to see. Zachary DeVineSJS Dev Camp8/9/20168/9/201610091
Adam HelewkaNoteHelewka’s changing directions needs work. Skating drills show some issues with balance. Zachary DeVineSJS Dev Camp8/9/20168/9/201610091
Adam HelewkaNoteHelewka putting a lot of passes in skates. Good on-ice vision sees it, needs more passing to go with his good shot. Zachary DeVineSJS Dev Camp Scrimmage 8/11/20168/11/201610096
Adam HesselvallNoteGets the puck off the neutral zone faceoff, fights to get into the offensive zone, stick battling all the way, and gets a shot off on goal.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024)5/4/20245/28/202410313
Adam HesselvallNoteHis edgework is very good, and he uses it to make positional corrections. Easy acceleration even if his top speed is only a bit above average at best.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024)5/4/20245/28/202410313
Adam HesselvallNoteUgly pass back while in the neutral zone that became a perfect breakaway opportunity the other way.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024)5/4/20245/28/202410313
Adam HesselvallNoteGets way out of position trying to block a shot and allows Ritchie uncontended crease access for an easy goal.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024)5/4/20245/28/202410313
Adam HesselvallNoteGoing hard up the ice to try to chase down a puck, but Iginla is able to easily gain the extra step. Behind the net, Hesselvall is able to steal the puck, but he throws a pass right down the middle back towards his own end and perfectly launches a clean breakaway for Canada. Oh, boy.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024)5/4/20245/28/202410313

Adam HesselvallSummaryHad moments where he looked effective, but too many moments where mental errors hurt his team. He could be a serviceable mid-line forward if he can clean up the mistakes, but I was not a fan of his hockey iq.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (U18 WJC 2024)5/4/20245/28/202410313

Adam JiricekNotePinches deep, draws a holding call.Brian FogartyCzechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/20/202310291
Adam JiricekSummaryNot a lot of notes in the game, but that was mostly due to him just doing everything well and the play being mostly in the offensive zone. I liked his activation up ice, and he helped generate offensive chances. He also played probably 30 minutes and never missed a beat. Maybe has a better offensive game than his brother at this point, but he's just as good everywhere else.Brian FogartyCzechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/20/202310291

Adam NovotnyNoteAlso killing penalties, working on the second unit. Active stick on the forecheck kept the Swedish powerplay stuck in their own zone for a while.Brian FogartySweden vs Czechia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2024)8/9/202410/18/202410323

Adam NovotnySummaryAlthough he saw extra room and opportunties because he was on the same line with Benak, but he creates on his own, and has the skill and speed to stick with Benak. Brian FogartySweden vs Czechia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2024)8/9/202410/18/202410323

Adam RaskaSummaryThe best part of his game was his physical play, which was thoughtful and affective on the forecheck. He didn't thrill on offense, and his skating needs work.Brian FogartyCzech Republic vs Russia (WJC 2020)12/26/201912/30/201910207

Adam RuzickaSummaryEasily the best player among the Slovakian forwards, he drove the play for his team all night long. Looked dangerous on every shift, and worked hard at both ends of the ice. A smart, balanced player with good size who can skate.Brian FogartySVK v RUS (Hlinka 2016)8/10/20168/11/201610093

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 Cup8/7/20219/14/202110234
Adam TitlbachNoteNice give and go through the neutral zone gets him into the offensive zone in possession, and the passing combination has created a 4-on-2. Titlbach shows pass as he drives the slot, then unleashes a no-look, hard wrist shot that beats the goaltender top blocker side. Brian FogartyCzechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/20/202310291
Adam TitlbachNoteGreat feed. Holds, looks off the defender, then elevates the puck to Drancak for a tap-in goal.Brian FogartyCzechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/20/202310291
Adam TitlbachSummaryNotes suffer here because he was on the same line with Benak who just stole the show. Titlbach looked dangerous and clever, with good skating and awareness.Brian FogartyCzechia vs US (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/20/202310291

Adrian Kempe NoteKempe’s skating a good, but could get more power out of his stride. Tweak item for adjustment and improvement, not at all a big issue. Zachary DeVineOntario vs San Jose (AHL)3/16/20163/16/201610050
Adrian Kempe NoteKempe with smart defensive zone positioning on the left wing. Reading the play well and keeping his stick down and active. Zachary DeVineOntario vs San Jose (AHL)3/16/20163/16/201610050

Adrian Kempe SummaryHigh skill and excellent skater with a shot that is excellent and well placed. Played better defensively than many young AHLers. In two games in three days he did show some consistency issues but one must remember this is a 19 year old in the AHL playing against men and seasoned professional hockey players. Zachary DeVineOntario vs San Jose (AHL)3/16/20163/16/201610050
Adrian Kempe SummaryKempe has concerns around consistency and seeing him live multiple times in the past month has confirmed that. When he is moving his feet and staying in his lane, he impacts a game. When he coasts around, he is not. He coasted a ton and seemed to move only east/west, resulting in a marginal viewing. Zachary DeVineOntario vs Stockton (AHL)4/1/20164/1/201610057
Adrian Kempe NoteKempe on the point on the PP1 unit Zachary DeVineOntario vs Stockton (AHL)4/1/20164/1/201610057

Adrian Kempe SummaryAdrian Kempe was invisible yet again. He is a young player in the AHL but one of his reputation shouldn’t have one good viewing in five. Ontario is a very good team and he just isn’t able to do much of note. Consistency is an issue. Zachary DeVineOntario vs Stockton (AHL)4/6/20164/6/201610058
Adrian Kempe NoteKempe with great poise as the stick check knocks the puck off his stick, quickly regains and uses that lethal release to beat Huska. Zachary DeVineSweden vs. Slovakia (WJC 2016)1/2/20161/2/201610025

Aidan De La GorgendierreNoteLooks a lot better with the puck on his stick when he's hurtling through the neutral zone than he does when he has it in his own end. This kid is all heading up ice right now.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201
Aidan De La GorgendierreNoteMore than willing to get up into the offensive game. His slapshot is okay. He holds it at the top, seeming to look for slap-pass options before putting the puck on net.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201
Aidan De La GorgendierreNoteLoses his stick, but then uses his feet to shadow the puck carrier, tightening his gap, and forcing the puck out to the blue line. Well played.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201

Aidan De La GorgendierreSummaryPlaying a lot of minutes as a 17-year-old defenseman, he is being used in all situations. He has good size at 6'0 and 179 pounds and his skating is excellent or slightly better. He needs to fill some holes, but the hockey iq in his defensive zone is there, and his ability to carry or pass the puck up the ice and drive the attack will make him a dangerous opponent as he continues to develop.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201

Akil ThomasSummaryI wasn't watching him in this game but he did everything he could to be noticed. Had two key blocked shots on rockets from the point. Had the tip-in goal.

Aku RatySummaryThere's a lot to like about his game, his high work rate, skating ability, defensive abilities. He is constantly hassling the puck and trying to make something happen. However, he did not really generate any offensive chances in this game.

Aleksi HeponiemiSummarySo quick, so fast, and has great hands and vision to match his feet. Has all the special tools needed to overcome his incredibly slight frame (5'10, 141 pounds at 19). There is a definitely a place for him in the current NHL, and he could become a threat on a top-six wing.Brian FogartySwift Current vs Acadie-Bathurst (Memorial C5/19/2018Not Available10171
Aleksi SaarelaNoteSaarela goes crashing into England on the forecheck who has to take a penalty to keep him at bay. Another good game by SaarelaZachary DeVineSweden vs. Finland (WJC 2016)1/4/20161/4/201610026

Alex BeaucageNoteWins a lot of physical battles on the boards.Brian FogartyRouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL)1/14/20191/10/201910184
Alex BeaucageSummarySteady player with offensive upside who plays hard, particularly down low and behind the nets. Has good speed, is well balanced, but does not show tremendous quickness or agility. A north-south player with good work ethic. Brian FogartyRouyn-Noranda vs Halifax (QMJHL)1/14/20191/10/201910184
Alex DeBrincatSummaryDeBrincat continued to make a case for being both a first-round draft pick and a third-round draft pick. His offensive skills are excellent, but he does not seem to engage in the game enough, and the hockey sense is questionable. At his size, he must improve in both of those areas or he will remain the biggest risk/reward player in the 2016 class.Zachary DeVineCHL Top Prospects Game 20161/8/20161/8/201610029
Alex DeBrincatSummaryDeBrincat has three whacks at the puck on a shift and nothing to show for it. Whatever he is doing in Erie never shows up when I watch. Zachary DeVineCHL Top Prospects Game 20161/28/20161/28/201610034

Alex ForsbergSummaryPlayed an engaged, two-way game with offensive ability, but lacked polish. As a 21-year-old in his fourth WHL season, more is expected of Forsberg. Was at least active in this game, previous viewings have not been positive, some without a single note. Zachary DeVineVictoria vs Portland (WHL)2/14/20162/14/201610040

Alex JohnstonNoteDoesn't look dynamic when he's carrying the puck. Very deliberate, looks like he has to concentrate on the puckhandling more than looking for the play.Brian FogartySault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL)12/15/20181/10/201910185
Alex JohnstonNoteHovering around the top of the crease, stick on the ice. Later that shift, his body and stick positioning pays off as the puck comes to him from the right side and its an easy one-touch goal from the top of the crease.Brian FogartySault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL)12/15/20181/10/201910185

Alex JohnstonNoteAnother quick chance at the net and this time his one-touch shot again goes wide. He's getting there, but not finishing. Brian FogartySault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL)12/19/20196/19/202010221
Alex JohnstonNoteTries a quick shot from below the circle and misses the net.Brian FogartySault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL)12/19/20196/19/202010221
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. Brian FogartySault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL)12/19/20196/19/202010221
Alex LaferriereNoteDoes well to get back to break up a pass to the slot, but gets his stick up and called for hooking.Brian FogartyDes Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL)11/15/20193/23/202010219

Alex LaferriereNoteUS trying to break it out, and Laferriere is backing out of the zone, but vigilant and looking around to check the coverage and the options, reading the potential plays, while others are just watching the puck carrier. He's a highly aware player.Brian FogartyDes Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL)11/15/20193/23/202010219
Alex LaferriereNoteHe is better when he's under pressure, because then he makes smaller, simpler plays. When he has more time, he tends to try a lot and that sometimes costs him.Brian FogartyDes Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL)11/15/20193/23/202010219
Alex LaferriereNoteKeeping up with Sanderson, but just barely. And Sanderson had the puck.Brian FogartyDes Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL)11/15/20193/23/202010219

Alex LaferriereNoteShowing off his speed with the puck, drives the zone, cuts to the net, starts to go behind then flicks a behind-the-back pass to try to set up his trailer, who stopped short and the play dies.Brian FogartyDes Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL)11/15/20193/23/202010219
Alex LaferriereNoteFirst steps are very good.Brian FogartyDes Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL)11/15/20193/23/202010219
Alex LaferriereNoteHas the puck , trying to get to the high slot, takes a solid hit from Peterson, but keeps his feet and the puck, shifts to the backhand because he got turned by the hit, slips a pass back to Anderson and sets him up perfectly for a dangerous shot from the hashmarks.Brian FogartyDes Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL)11/15/20193/23/202010219
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)11/15/20193/23/202010219

Alex NedeljkovicNoteNeds' movements are so quick. NHL-level recovery. Giving USA a chance when they are being outplayed. Zachary DeVineUSA vs. Canada (WJC 2016)12/26/201512/26/201510014
Alex NedeljkovicNoteNedeljkovic standing tall in the last minute. Closed the door to any idea of a Canada comeback. Solid game from him, USA could go far with him playing like that. Zachary DeVineUSA vs. Canada (WJC 2016)12/26/201512/26/201510014

Alex NewhookNoteBlocks a shot, then dives to poke the puck out of danger.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s)4/27/20195/9/201910193
Alex NewhookNoteAround the net, stick on the ice, waiting for a puck. When it gets there, he kicks it to his stick, shoots in tight, saved, grabs the rebound and shoots again and scores.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s)4/27/20195/9/201910193
Alex NewhookNoteHas a lot of patience when the pucks come to him. He looks more at ease with the puck than without it, and he seems fine making puck moves under pressure and finding the right play.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s)4/27/20195/9/201910193
Alex NewhookNoteGreat backcheck, tracks down the puck carrier at the blue line and takes the puck away.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s)4/27/20195/9/201910193
Alex NewhookNoteSubtle, nifty move: A play of the blue-line boards, he pokes the puck away then ducks and glides through traffic to pick the puck up on the other side. Smart. Crafty.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s)4/27/20195/9/201910193
Alex NewhookNoteDefinitely a pass-first player, but I think it’s because he's so damned good at it.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s)4/27/20195/9/201910193
Alex NewhookNoteAnother nice stick play as he reaches out, lifts a stick, then sweeps the puck to the halfboards where only he can collect it. Then his no-look, backhand pass was sick! Kid sees everything.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s)4/27/20195/9/201910193
Alex NewhookNotePasses are accurate and beautiful. Pure playmaker.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s)4/27/20195/9/201910193
Alex NewhookSummaryHe's 5'10, but he plays with such command of the game around that he does not appear to be that small. Excellent skater, but where his game stands out from the rest is his amazing vision, passing and puckhandling. Very patient with the puck. A top prospect playmaker who can center or play on the wing. NHL-caliber talent.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s)4/27/20195/9/201910193
Alex NewhookNoteSeeming a bit passive so far, but when he has the puck, the Swedish defenders can't take it away from him.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS)7/31/20199/7/201910195
Alex NewhookNoteDrives to the net without the puck, and a great pass finds him at full speed, but his one touch try goes just wide of the net. Great play all around.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS)7/31/20199/7/201910195
Alex NewhookSummaryLooked more tentative in this game but his smart play with the puck and attention to the game was still evident throughout. He needs a couple of years of quality competition to help develop his game.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS)7/31/20199/7/201910195

Alex SchoenbornNoteSchoenborn playing hard, but not smart. Zachary DeVinePortland vs Everett (OHL)3/25/20163/25/201610053
Alex SchoenbornSummarySchoenborn very north/south player. Gets tunnel vision to make a hit or stir something up, doesn't look to be worried about offense and Portland needed him to. Offense was hard to come by and his decisions with the puck were average. Not a natural goal scorer, manufacturer of offense with tenacity and hard work Zachary DeVinePortland vs Everett (OHL)3/25/20163/25/201610053
Alex SchoenbornNoteSchoenborn is a hard nosed player, but feel like he isn’t bringing the tools needed to compete at the next level. Skating is ok, but lots of little things in his game just are not adding up. Zachary DeVineSJS Dev Camp8/7/20168/7/201610089

Alex VlasicNoteAnother solid use of his stick and reach to dislodge a puck and break up a powerplay rush against. Then he cleared the zone, too.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL)2/15/20192/20/201910188
Alex VlasicNoteElevates the puck on a hard around and easily clears the zone.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL)2/15/20192/20/201910188
Alex VlasicSummaryTall defender (6'5) who will likely add significant muscle and weight over the coming years. Moves well for his size, with good four-way mobility. Not really an offensive threat, but makes good reads and first pass on the breakout. His reach is a weapon, but in tight he loses effectiveness with his long stick. Not overly physical but does not shy from contact.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL)2/15/20192/20/201910188
Alexander AlexeyevNoteFluid on his feet, slides over to get a pass, then slides back to his left and threads a diagonal pass to the opposite corner for the game's first goal. Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL)1/3/20181/23/201810161

Alexander AlexeyevSummarySkating is a strong point, but his smarts and offensive vision stand out in his game. High hockey iq and ability to rapidly assess game situations and make the right decisions, and his feet allow him to get the right spot on the ice to make the smart play. Quality two-defender with offensive upside.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL)1/3/20181/23/201810161
Alexander DergachyovNoteDergachyov’s skating is weak, not much of a stride. Zachary DeVineDenmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016)1/2/20161/2/201610023
Alexander GeorgievNoteGeorgiev is an amazingly aggressive goalie, plays outside of his crease the majority of the time. Fantastic movement and is quick set and square to the shooter. Zachary DeVineDenmark vs. Russia (WJC 2016)1/2/20161/2/201610023
Alexander HoltzNotePuck in his own end, and as the defenseman is readying to exit, Holtz is moving laterally in protect against a Slovakian forechecker charging in, then he accelerates and activates as the puck does. Smart play.Brian FogartySweden vs Slovakia (WJC 2020)12/31/20191/1/202010209

Alexander NylanderNoteNylander line has a lot of talent but rushing on the PP to end the first period. Needs more patience to allow play to develop, losing handle on pucks often. Zachary DeVineMississauga vs. Windsor (OHL)11/13/2015Not Available10004
Alexander NylanderNoteDay continues to do it all. huge pass to Nylander who throws on the brakes, gets back to the slot and is tipped in for the goal. Amazing play by these two very talented players. Nylander showed great patience as well as stick handling on the play. Zachary DeVineMississauga vs. Windsor (OHL)11/13/2015Not Available10004
Alexander NylanderSummaryNylander is very confident with the puck, has the skills to mostly get it deep under possession at this level. Two assists but didn’t do much on the defensive side. Zachary DeVineMississauga vs. Windsor (OHL)11/13/2015Not Available10004
Alexander NylanderSummaryNot Nylander's best game, by far. He looked like he was fighting the puck all night, and lost several opportunities as the puck skipped, rolled or bounced away from him. A game he'll want to forget, but the skill is all there. Brian FogartyCHL Top Prospects Game 20161/28/20161/28/201610034
Alexander NylanderSummarySimply another poor viewing for Nylander. He did not raise his game as I expected at the BMO game and was demoted to the third line in the final period of a tightly contested game. His skill level seen at WJC seems to be the high-water mark of the year in games of his I have seen. They were amazingly impressive in Finland, but enough modest efforts to now give me pause and likely drop him a bit in my rankings.Zachary DeVineMississauga vs Peterborough (OHL)3/5/20163/5/201610045

Alexander NylanderSummaryAnother game in which Nylander displayed superb hand skills, and a lack of urgency that is maddening. There is no doubting his talent, which is NHL-caliber to be certain, but at times his compete level is questionable, at best.Brian FogartySweden vs Finland (U18s 2016)5/4/20165/15/201610061

Alexander PashinNoteKilling penalties, gives a little shove after the whistle to try to move the Canadian player away from the crease.Brian FogartyCanada vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky 2019)8/12/20197/13/202010223
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)8/12/20197/13/202010223
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.

Alexander TurcotteSummaryWorks hard in the offensive zone and does not shy away from the effort needed to get to scoring areas, with and without the puck. Has a good shot and release, but all of his work is done at the net.

Alexandre CarrierSummaryA two-way defender who needs more experience to hone his skills into a professional-grade player.

Andreas JohnsonSummaryGood skating overall. Moves quietly to the soft parts of the ice, stays open to support the play. Johnson is a player that you don’t always notice, as the subtle things he does denote good hockey sense that isn’t flashy. Can see how his vision and skating can translate to a North American game. His ten points in twelve SHL playoff games was only okay when you compare that to the 25 he put up last year. Zachary DeVineKarpat vs Frolunda (SHL)2/8/20162/8/201610036

Andrei AltybarmakyanSummaryNot a big player at 5'11, 183 pounds, but he shows a high-work-rate effort at all times, strong and balanced, but his offensive skills are a bit wanting and will likely govern his ultimate level of play. Brian FogartyBelarus vs Russia (WJC 2018)12/29/201712/29/201710157

Andrei BuyalskiNoteThen he buries a snipe from the circle. That was a shot. Sent the water bottle to the boards. Took his time, found a gap, lasered it.Brian FogartyFinland vs Khazakstan (WJC 2020)12/29/201912/30/201910208

Andrei KuzmenkoNoteGoes hard down the goal line, driving the net, and as he closes, goes backhand to shield the puck, but instead of going back forehand for a shooting angle, he slips a pass to the far side of the slot for a one-timer goal. Excellent play to both protect the puck on his attack, drawing all the attention, then finding the open man.Brian FogartySKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity10/15/202110/22/202110241
Andrei KuzmenkoNoteStraightline speed is okay, but his edges, strength on his skates and maneuverability provides him a lot of opportunity. Coupled with his awareness, he never looks out of position or lacking footspeed.Brian FogartySKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity10/15/202110/22/202110241
Andrei KuzmenkoNoteHis ability to make plays in small areas and in heavy traffic bodes well for playing on the smaller North American ice if he ever comes over.Brian FogartySKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity10/15/202110/22/202110241
Andrei KuzmenkoNoteBig slapper that the goalie stopped, but he checking behind himself.Brian FogartySKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity10/15/202110/22/202110241
Andrei KuzmenkoNoteTie game, 1:20 left in the third, he takes a pass just inside the offensive zone, toe drags around the defender, lowers his shoulder, drives, then beats the goaltender roof from in tight. Beauty goal that breaks the late tie.Brian FogartySKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity10/15/202110/22/202110241
Andrei KuzmenkoSummaryHis game is so well refined at this point. He plays all three zones with fire, makes smart, little plays. Shows exceedingly good edgework and has a strong, solid base. Variety of shots, vision and game awareness. He could be an effective player on North American ice and could easily be a two-way middle six forward with scoring upside.Brian FogartySKA St Petersburg vs Jokerity10/15/202110/22/202110241
Andrei SvechnikovNoteLiking Svechnikov’s compete level overall. Working hard to retrieve pucks, could use some more physical presence on the boards, but at least he is in there going for the play.Zachary DeVineRussia vs Switzerland (WJAC 2016)12/3/201612/3/201610120
Andrei SvechnikovNoteDirty area goal for Svechnikov as he gets an initial shot on goal, circles back to drive the net and gets a stick on it. Nose for the net on that play. Zachary DeVineRussia vs Switzerland (WJAC 2016)12/13/201612/13/201610124
Andrei SvechnikovNoteSvechnikov has wheels. Quick feet, excellent edge workZachary DeVineUSA vs Russia (WJAC 2016)12/15/201612/15/201610125
Andrei SvechnikovNoteSvechnikov hounding the puck carrier but draws a slashing penalty. Like the effort on the play. Very tough on the puck in the first period. Zachary DeVineUSA vs Russia (WJAC 2016)12/15/201612/15/201610125
Andrei SvechnikovNoteSvechnikov takes a centering pass and off the rush gets it up on the USA goalie. Quick shot that got up with little space. Scored both goals for Russia in the loss. Heck of showing for the 2000-born winger. Zachary DeVineUSA vs Russia (WJAC 2016)12/15/201612/15/201610125

Andrei SvechnikovNoteLeads a 2-on-1, and when his shot goes just wide and the opponents recover the puck, he is the first person back in the defensive zone.

Andrei SvechnikovSummarySimply an excellent player who takes advantage of every small opportunity presented to him on the ice. In a tournament where his ice time was limited by coaching who decided to play older players more often and having just recently returned to the ice after missing 6 weeks or so with a broken hand, Svechnikov still managed a point-per-game production and looked consistently threatening on every shift. Size, quickness, strength and lethal offensive skills. (General summary of all tournament viewings).Brian FogartyBelarus vs Russia (WJC 2018)12/29/201712/29/201710157

Andrei SvechnikovNoteRidiculous shift in which at least four opposing players had cracks at him down low but couldn't stop him at all, gets the shot off, rebound gets put away. Filthy, filthy assist.Brian FogartyBarrie vs London (OHL)2/2/2018Not Available10164

Andrei SvechnikovSummarySimply no denying that Svechnikov is extremely talented, with size and tremendous work ethic at both ends of the ice. Drives the net, makes strong and dexterous plays that not many players can make. A couple of coachable flaws like forcing passes when unnecessary, but the creativity, skillset and forceful play are off the charts. Elite talent in a big frame.Brian FogartyBarrie vs London (OHL)2/2/2018Not Available10164

Andrei SvechnikovNotePossession machine: weaves through traffic in the neutral zone, gains the zone, makes a power move to the net, wards off the defender with his body, changes direction, gets a good wraparound chance. At least four opponents tried to get the puck from him, and not one of them was close.Brian FogartyCzech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018)2/15/2018Not Available10165

Andrei SvechnikovSummaryNot a lot more to say about Svechnikov. Big, high iq, excellent hands and tremendous puck possession player. I liked that he was not forcing passes in this game, and instead playing inside the flow of the game. Svechnikov is a natural talent who would be first overall in the 2018 draft if not for the brilliance that is Dahlin.Brian FogartyCzech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018)2/15/2018Not Available10165

Andrew BashaNoteA couple of times he has held the puck too long, wanting to skate into areas instead of passing and then moving off the puck. Brian FogartyMedicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL)4/2/20245/31/202410314
Andrew BashaNoteHe's a much better skater when he's on the move. He looks so much more comfortable at speed then at a standstill, when his edgework in tight spaces is suspect.Brian FogartyMedicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL)4/2/20245/31/202410314
Andrew BashaNoteGets the puck in the neutral zone, drives and dangles but can't get a clean shot away. Carries behind the net, out the left side, around the top, then throws the puck at the net. Not once did he look for passing options.Brian FogartyMedicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL)4/2/20245/31/202410314

Andrew BashaNoteToo often he is the first player out of his offensive zone and the last one to get back. Brian FogartyMedicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL)4/2/20245/31/202410314
Andrew BashaNoteHad a good chance to throw a shoulder into the puck carrier coming up the wall, but instead he just tried to stick check him and then watched as he just skated right on by.Brian FogartyMedicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL)4/2/20245/31/202410314
Andrew BashaNoteAnother instance of him holding the puck too long, skating from low right circle, up across the top into the slot. But this time he rifles a shot back against his flow and over the goalie's shoulder to tie the game with 35 seconds remaining.Brian FogartyMedicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL)4/2/20245/31/202410314
Andrew BashaSummaryHis shot is good, no doubt, but he was a major puck hog all game long. He passed when he had to, but often it was after he had skated himself out of room and had nowhere to go. Hungry for the puck in the offensive zone, and elite speed, but the rest of his game was infuriating to watch.Brian FogartyMedicine Hat vs Red Deer (WHL)4/2/20245/31/202410314

Andrew CristallNoteCarries into the ozone, flicks the puck to left point then goes straight to the crease.Brian FogartyU18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022)7/27/20227/27/202210269
Andrew CristallNoteNice job paying attention in his own end, ties up Firkus's stick just as the pick gets there and took away a great scoring chance.Brian FogartyU18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022)7/27/20227/27/202210269
Andrew CristallNoteFast out to the point to close down the puck, then back again the the high slot and another excellent stick lift to destroy and one timer attempt. Working hard on defense. Love it.Brian FogartyU18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022)7/27/20227/27/202210269
Andrew CristallNotePhysical on the walls.Brian FogartyU18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022)7/27/20227/27/202210269
Andrew CristallNoteLow right side on the pp, holds while a sliding defender goes past him, steps left, holds to try to open the Nettie, then shoots far side but the goaltender gets the edge of his blocker on it to make the save. Nice, patient work down low.Brian FogartyU18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022)7/27/20227/27/202210269

Andrew MangiapaneSummaryMangiapane plays small, but he is quick and instinctive. He goes to the traffic areas, though, and is shifty enough to evade most defenders.Brian FogartyNiagara vs Barrie (OHL)3/4/20163/4/201610044
Andrew MangiapaneNoteMangiapane works hard on every shift. He is just going at it. Not the best skater early. Zachary DeVineNiagara vs Barrie (OHL)3/4/20163/4/201610044
Andrew MangiapaneNoteMangiapane needs more mustard on his passes and clears. Reads have been solid in the second period but more oomph needed. Zachary DeVineNiagara vs Barrie (OHL)3/4/20163/4/201610044
Andrew MangiapaneNoteMangiapane works hard on every shift. Digs the puck out on the forecheck and some how, some way gets it to Nattinen for his second of the night. Zachary DeVineNiagara vs Barrie (OHL)3/4/20163/4/201610044
Andrew MangiapaneSummaryMangiapane works hard on every shift. He is a small player that is shifty on his skates but doesn’t have the elite skating that you’d like to see that smaller players in the NHL seem to require to compete at that level. Mangiapane has a lot of points, but many are the result of hard, honest work in all zones coupled with his good vision. Had two assists in this game, one of the spectacular variety.

Andrew PeekeSummaryContinues to develop a solid, responsible game in his own end, with improved positioning and physicality while cutting down on mistakes. Smooth on his feet with a good shot, but not overly active in the offensive game. Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Notre Dame (NCAA)11/25/201711/25/201710147

Anthony Allain-SamakeNoteWorks the puck across the top of the zone, probing with D-to-D passes until he gets the puck with some space, walks to the top of the circle and puts a good snap shot on net.Brian FogartySioux City vs USNTDP U17s (USHL)10/12/202411/13/202410325
Anthony Allain-SamakeNoteActive but responsible. Good acceleration to pop out from the crease area and jump a gap to the puck without giving up a positional advantage or getting caught on the wrong side of the puck. His skating and lateral/backward movement helps a lot with that.Brian FogartySioux City vs USNTDP U17s (USHL)10/12/202411/13/202410325
Anthony Allain-SamakeNoteRight point on the powerplay, bobbles a chipped puck and loses positional control to a fast-closing Plante, and then loses the puck and gives up a clean breakaway against.Brian FogartySioux City vs USNTDP U17s (USHL)10/12/202411/13/202410325
Anthony Allain-SamakeNoteFollows the puck carrier into the zone, gets a drop pass and goes high slot, fires a dangerous shot on net.Brian FogartySioux City vs USNTDP U17s (USHL)10/12/202411/13/202410325
Anthony Allain-SamakeSummaryAs one of the youngest members of the 2025 NHL draft class (Sept 10 birthdate), he already looks like a well-developed two-way defenseman. Decent frame at 6'0, 165 pounds and looks like a determined player who will get a bit bigger and good bit stronger. Smooth on his feet, smart with and without the puck, active player with good upside.Brian FogartySioux City vs USNTDP U17s (USHL)10/12/202411/13/202410325
Anthony BeauvillierNoteReally nice straight-line speed and power stride. Gets his feet back underneath him quicklyBrian FogartyShawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL)3/14/20163/15/201610049
Anthony BeauvillierSummaryStruggled to find space in this game as Rouyn-Noranda focused on shutting down his land and were effective in doing so. Still, Beauvillier's skills and skating were present, and he created several chances that required better saves and defensive plays.Brian FogartyShawinigan vs Rouyn-Noranda (QMJHL)3/14/20163/15/201610049
Anthony CirelliNoteCirelli has been a factor since the opening faceoff. Speed and tenacity creating havoc. Impressive thus far. Zachary DeVineNJEC 2016 - Team Sweden vs Team Canada8/4/20168/4/201610083
Anthony ManthaSummaryRode shotgun much of the night, but if you saw him in the QMJHL, you saw him in this game. Great shot, decent vision and completely dependent on others to get him the puck where he can deploy that wicked shot of his. Mantha will shoot from anywhere, and the first goal by the Griffins resulted from Mantha's hard, reckless shot from above the right circle that was tipped in, rewarding him with an assist. Defense is improving, with a good active stick and fast transition game. Still needs some seasoning in the AHL, but the tools are all there and he could be a great winger alongside fellow Detroit prospect Dylan Larkin.Zachary DeVineIowa vs Grand Rapids (AHL)11/11/2015Not Available10003

Anthony TabakNoteReally lacking foot speed. He was just struggling to get back on the backcheck. The play just ran away from him.Brian FogartyOttawa vs Sarnia (OHL)11/8/201911/15/201910199
Anthony TabakNoteSecond time in the first period where he tried to make a hit but missed his man because he couldn't adjust to the movement.Brian FogartyOttawa vs Sarnia (OHL)11/8/201911/15/201910199
Anthony TabakSummaryGot a lot of ice time in the game, but was not particularly affective, primarily because his skating keeps him a couple of steps behind the pace of play. Has size, looks like a smart player, but needs work on his feet before he can reach the next level.Brian FogartyOttawa vs Sarnia (OHL)11/8/201911/15/201910199

Anton LundellNoteTakes the puck from behind his own net, powers through the neutral zone avoiding Canadian stick checks, goes hard to the net and gets pulled down for a penalty. Unstoppable there.Brian FogartyCanada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s)4/18/20194/10/202010220

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. What a shot.Brian FogartyCanada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s)4/18/20194/10/202010220

Anton LundellNoteCompetes hard on every shift. He's the type of player that when you watch him it's impossible to know what the score is by his effort level.Brian FogartyCanada vs Finland (2019 World U-18s)4/18/20194/10/202010220
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)4/18/20194/10/202010220

Anton SilayevNoteStarts up ice, but the puck kicks back and his change from forward acceleration to backwards retreat was fast and all in his edges. That was a lovely piece of skating.Brian FogartyTorpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL)1/29/20245/23/202410309
Anton SilayevNoteLooks so well-coordinated for such a young player with that kind of height.Brian FogartyTorpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL)1/29/20245/23/202410309

Anton SilayevNotePositions his hips and shoulders well in advance of receiving the puck. This allows him to already be in motion when he gets possession.Brian FogartyTorpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL)1/29/20245/23/202410309
Anton SilayevNoteTrying to skate the puck through the neutral zone. He doesn't look as comfortable carrying as he does passing.Brian FogartyTorpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL)1/29/20245/23/202410309
Anton SilayevNoteGood step up and poke check to disrupt an attack. He relies on the poke a lot in lieu of a hit, but this time it worked well.Brian FogartyTorpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL)1/29/20245/23/202410309
Anton SilayevNoteWell-weighted pass gives the attacking forward the chance to maintain speed and enter the offensive zone.Brian FogartyTorpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL)1/29/20245/23/202410309

Anton SilayevNoteChases his man behind the net and gets burned for it. Tough choice, but he was on the wrong side of the puck and paid for it.Brian FogartyTorpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL)1/29/20245/23/202410309
Anton SilayevNoteOffensive zone possession, he does a good job keeping the puck in the zone at the right point, then throwing the puck into the slot area scrums.Brian FogartyTorpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL)1/29/20245/23/202410309
Anton SilayevNoteHe really seems to prefer the step-up poke check to thwart oncoming attacks. He's good at it, but that's a move he will have to dial back.Brian FogartyTorpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL)1/29/20245/23/202410309
Anton SilayevSummaryBig, smooth defender that shows more stay-at-home, first pass skills than a pure transitional or offensive blueliner. He has some work to do to improve on his defensive awareness and holding position, but any chance an NHL team has at a 6'7 blueliner with easy skating and nice hands, they'll jump on.Brian FogartyTorpedo vs Spartak Moscow (KHL)1/29/20245/23/202410309

Aram MinnetianSummaryAt 6'0, 170 his has a full-package skating skillset that makes him dangerous in all three zones. Doesn't show a great shot at this point, and will need to work on his offensive contributions, but if he continues to develop his hand skills, he could become a solid NHL transition defender.Brian FogartyUSNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL)1/21/20232/27/202310273
Arjun BawaNoteCovering right point, forced back to defend a two-on-two rush. He looks comfortable skating backwards, just stays calm, maintains his lane, and the attack fizzles out.Brian FogartyPrince George vs Tri-City4/1/20234/3/202310278

Aron KiviharjuNoteLeft point, Wood pokes the puck free from him and heads for a breakaway. Kiviharju closes back, gets position, angles Wood out and below the goal line. Excellent recovery play.Brian FogartyCanada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022)8/5/20228/6/202210266

Arthur KaliyevNoteTic-tac-toe, he's the toe, gets the puck near his feet but gets a good shot on net that only a quality save kept out of the net. Smart read to get to the right spot on a three-way passing play in motion.Brian FogartyRegina vs Hamilton (Memorial Cup 2018)5/18/2018Not Available10172

Arthur KaliyevNoteCalling for the puck in the home plate area, doesn't get it. At the end of the shift, his body language made him look disappointed. Hate reading into that, but it seemed obvious to me. Brian FogartyUSA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018)8/8/2018Not Available10177
Arthur KaliyevNoteTakes two steps off the right-wing boards, finds a loose puck off the faceoff, and his shot is off his stick in an instant, into the goalies glove, low right side.Brian FogartyUSA vs Russia (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2018)8/8/2018Not Available10177

Arthur KaliyevSummaryWhen I first watched him, I was impressed. But since then he's dropping for me. Bad body language, looks disinterested in anything but shooting and mad when he doesn’t get the puck.

Artyom LevshunovNoteWasn't able to match Kurth's speed, and although he tried a stick lift at the end, he allowed Kurth a breakaway goal.Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA)11/26/202312/14/202310292

Good positional and situational awareness.Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA)11/26/202312/14/202310292
Artyom LevshunovNoteAugustine holds the puck behind his net, and Levshunov calls to him with instructions, and it was the right call. Leads to a breakout and offensive zone possession.Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA)11/26/202312/14/202310292
Artyom LevshunovNoteDown in the 3rd period, and he's seeing almost non-stop ice time.Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA)11/26/202312/14/202310292
Artyom LevshunovSummarySmart positional play in his own end, and two-way mentality stood out the most for me. The fact that he was on the ice so much late in the game as Michigan State was trying to get back into the game speaks to his offensive abilities, as well. He may lack the high-end speed, but that's about the only thing I saw missing in his skill set.Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA)11/26/202312/14/202310292

Austin BurnevikNoteTries to dump and chase but he doesn't have the wheels to beat the defender to the puck.Brian FogartyUSNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL)1/21/20232/27/202310273
Austin BurnevikSummaryI think Burnevik still has a lot to work on his game. He was not fast enough, creative enough or physical enough to make much of an impact in this game.Brian FogartyUSNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL)1/21/20232/27/202310273

Auston MatthewsNoteMatthews isn’t really skating hard at all in this game. Looks disinterested. Needs a motor installed. Talent without complete level is wasted. Zachary DeVineUSA vs. Canada (WJC 2016)12/26/201512/26/201510014

Axel Sandin PellikkaNoteLeft halfboards on the top PP unit.Brian FogartyUS vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s)2/10/20232/24/202310270
Axel Sandin PellikkaNoteGreat work with his feet and reach to force Nelson wide and away from the net.Brian FogartyUS vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s)2/10/20232/24/202310270
Axel Sandin PellikkaNoteHard wrist shot gets deflected wide. Smooth, just like everything else with him.Brian FogartyUS vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s)2/10/20232/24/202310270
Axel Sandin PellikkaSummaryEverything in his game looks so easy. His skating is fluid and his body control is excellent. Poised with the puck, transitions with ease, makes good choices on when to rush and when to be more conservative. He will be a good NHLer.Brian FogartyUS vs Sweden (2023 Four Nations U18s)2/10/20232/24/202310270
Axel Sandin PellikkaNoteCarrying up ice, hits the brakes and leaves the opponent just scrabbling past him, then Sandin-Pellikka simply resumes the attack. Beautiful.Brian FogartySweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs)12/27/20222/25/202310272
Axel Sandin PellikkaNoteReally aggressive in transition this game.Brian FogartySweden vs Germany (2023 WJCs)12/27/20222/25/202310272
Ayrton MartinoNoteJust coasting and floating around up top in his own zone while the entire play was happening at his net. No defensive input at all there.Brian FogartyOmaha vs Tri-City (USHL)4/23/20217/10/202110232
Ayrton MartinoNoteStrength on his edges allows him to be highly maneuverable laterallyBrian FogartyOmaha vs Tri-City (USHL)4/23/20217/10/202110232
Ayrton MartinoNoteTries a no-look backhand pass to the slot, but finds nothing.Brian FogartyOmaha vs Tri-City (USHL)4/23/20217/10/202110232
Ayrton MartinoNoteDriving the neutral zone, takes a pass on the center ice dot, hits the offensive zone with one defender between him and the goalie, then passes no look to his left, to literally no one at all. I watched the sequence five times and still have no idea what he was thinking there.Brian FogartyOmaha vs Tri-City (USHL)4/23/20217/10/202110232
Ayrton MartinoNoteAgain, tries to pass without looking his teammate, and missed him by probably ten feet for an easy recovery by the opposing penalty killers who then clear the zone. What is up with him?Brian FogartyOmaha vs Tri-City (USHL)4/23/20217/10/202110232
Ayrton MartinoNoteTries to drag the puck around the defender, but leaves it there. Bad turnover.Brian FogartyOmaha vs Tri-City (USHL)4/23/20217/10/202110232
Ayrton MartinoNoteStill not engaging in defensive play, but a puckhandling Tri-City forward got too close and Martino stripped him.Brian FogartyOmaha vs Tri-City (USHL)4/23/20217/10/202110232
Baker ShoreNoteLeft half-boards/circle on the top powerplay unitBrian FogartyUSNTDP vs Chicago (USHL)1/20/20181/22/201810160
Baker ShoreNoteGood job to keep his stick on the ice and get a one-touch chance on a puck coming out of the corner. Saved, but showed good awareness there.Brian FogartyUSNTDP vs Chicago (USHL)1/20/20181/22/201810160
Baker ShoreNoteFast feet in his stride, but not a full extension. He gets nice acceleration but can improve after his first couple of steps.Brian FogartyUSNTDP vs Chicago (USHL)1/20/20181/22/201810160
Baker ShoreNoteWorks the puck well and has good awareness, finds the right pass most of the timeBrian FogartyUSNTDP vs Chicago (USHL)1/20/20181/22/201810160
Baker ShoreSummaryHard worker, good hands and vision, quick skater who needs to work on his stride to get more power, but that looks correctable. Has confidence in the offensive zone, but doesn't seem to have a top-level skills package beyond that.Brian FogartyUSNTDP vs Chicago (USHL)1/20/20181/22/201810160
Barclay GoodrowNoteGoodrow with his second goal of the game, driving the net. Has a lot of good habits and I think is a bottom-six NHLer for a few hundred games. Zachary DeVineBakersfield vs San Jose (AHL)12/5/20154234310010
Barclay GoodrowNoteGoodrow with the overtime winner to complete the hat trick. Should be playing with Sharks in place of Mike Brown. Zachary DeVineBakersfield vs San Jose (AHL)12/5/20154234310010
Barclay GoodrowNoteGoodrow with a pass/chest bump/water-bottle-knocker goal? Looking good this game, multi-tool playerZachary DeVineBakersfield vs San Jose (AHL)12/5/20154234310010
Barclay GoodrowNoteGoodrow had a very complete game. Solid in all three zones, involved physically, drive play. Three goals and +4 on the nightZachary DeVineBakersfield vs San Jose (AHL)12/5/20154234310010
Barclay GoodrowSummaryOnce again with a solid, honest, north/south game. Scored a hat trick with a dominating performance. Ready for the NHL in a bottom-six role with the potential to develop into a middle line role.  Work ethic continues to be a dominating trait but hands are decent and shows some creativity as well.Zachary DeVineBakersfield vs San Jose (AHL)12/5/20154234310010
Barclay GoodrowNoteRyan with a shot pass off the active SJ boards and Barclay Goodrow gets it home. Zachary DeVineStockton vs San Jose (AHL)12/20/201512/20/201510012
Barclay GoodrowNoteYoung scores, broken play, everyone did their job, just one of those things. Kylington did a nice job tying up the forward, but Young comes in from the point. Goodrow started it with some mucking in front of the net, another point for Goodrow. Zachary DeVineStockton vs San Jose (AHL)12/20/201512/20/201510012
Barclay GoodrowSummaryBarclay Goodrow with another strong viewing, leading the Barracuda offensively and physically. He has finishing ability but his AHL game must be modified for him to have success at the NHL level. However, his physical play does translate exceedingly well and Goodrow could be a useful third-line player in the NHL soon. Zachary DeVineStockton vs San Jose (AHL)12/20/201512/20/201510012
Bastian GuggenheimNoteLooks lean, but he uses his body well and just made a nice hit in the corner.Brian FogartySwitzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020)1/2/20201/9/202010210
Bastian GuggenheimNotePenalty kill duties, but he had drifted out a little too high and Voronkov gets a clean look from the crease for a goal.Brian FogartySwitzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020)1/2/20201/9/202010210
Bastian GuggenheimNotePositions himself well, rides a player away from the crease/far post.Brian FogartySwitzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020)1/2/20201/9/202010210
Bastian GuggenheimNoteGets called for a trip on Voronkov, but that was a clear dive/fall from the big Russian.Brian FogartySwitzerland vs Russian (WJC 2020)1/2/20201/9/202010210
Bear HughesNoteHardworking forechecking shift, very active trying to get the puck back for his team.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Bear HughesNoteWide stride with short pushes. He should get deeper and push into longer strides, but he still has decent pace.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Bear HughesNoteHe's the center, but on this sequence he's trying to leave the zone before the puck. When the inevitable turnover happens, he's slow to get back on defense.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Bear HughesNoteI like his movement overall, but he's a step or two slow skating north/south. On his next sequence, he showed that by having to pass the puck awkwardly instead of outskating the back pressure.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Bear HughesNoteTries to power around Tyson Kozak, but he didn't have the wheels to do it.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Bear HughesNoteYeah, he needs to get two steps faster. I hope he can, because I like him otherwise.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Bear HughesSummaryAn undrafted 2019 with good size at 6'1 but he's still on the thinner side at 165 pounds. Could use more leg strength and improvement on his stride. Good at faceoffs, but the coach seems to not trust his defensive play too much because he wasn't asked to be a core center defender low in his zone. My feeling after this game is that he could be an effective AHL-level pro, but needs to get faster.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Beau AkeyNoteSkates extremely well, fast in a couple of steps, slides up and back, four-way mobility is swift and smooth. Good command of his body.Brian FogartyBarrie vs Sudbury (OHL)10/28/202111/8/202110245
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. Calm, wise, efficient.Brian FogartyBarrie vs Sudbury (OHL)10/28/202111/8/202110245
Beau AkeyNoteSets and shoots, hard wrist shot blocked.Brian FogartyBarrie vs Sudbury (OHL)10/28/202111/8/202110245

Beau AkeyNoteLong wrist shot on net.Brian FogartyBarrie vs Sudbury (OHL)10/28/202111/8/202110245
Beau AkeySummaryDid not start the game with Akey on my list of players to focus on, but by mid-game he was forcing me to watch him. He does everything well, and looks like a truly promising prospect.Brian FogartyBarrie vs Sudbury (OHL)10/28/202111/8/202110245
Beau AkeyNotePins his man to the boards, and there was no escaping.Brian FogartyBarrie vs Niagara (OHL)11/12/202111/18/202110247
Beau AkeyNoteOver-extends on an arm-check attempt, but his feet allow him to stick with Ethan Sims and restrict his chances, forces a difficult shot, wide.Brian FogartyBarrie vs Niagara (OHL)11/12/202111/18/202110247
Beau AkeyNoteSkates around forecheckers, protecting the puck, enters the neutral zone and then hands off to Porco. Akey then follows to the slot.Brian FogartyBarrie vs Niagara (OHL)11/12/202111/18/202110247
Beau AkeyNoteNice subtle lean back to take away a skating lane and buy a step for this teammate to gain puck possession.Brian FogartyBarrie vs Niagara (OHL)11/12/202111/18/202110247
Beau AkeyNoteJumps up to keep a rolling puck in at the blue line.Brian FogartyBarrie vs Niagara (OHL)11/12/202111/18/202110247

Beau AkeyNoteJoins the rush, but not at the cost of defense. He doesn’t cheat up ice, but his speed gets him to the zone at the right time anyway.Brian FogartyBarrie vs Niagara (OHL)11/12/202111/18/202110247
Beau AkeyNoteSpinning backhand pass off the boards and right on target.Brian FogartyBarrie vs Niagara (OHL)11/12/202111/18/202110247
Beau JelsmaNoteAbove average speed, but at the front of the net he was getting moved around fairly easily by the defenseman.Brian FogartyBarrie vs Sudbury (OHL)10/28/202111/8/202110245
Beau JelsmaNoteJumps on a loose puck, steps into the slot, whiffs on the shot attempt.Brian FogartyBarrie vs Sudbury (OHL)10/28/202111/8/202110245
Beau JelsmaNotePoor balance and skate strengthBrian FogartyBarrie vs Sudbury (OHL)10/28/202111/8/202110245
Beau JelsmaNoteCuts left to the high slot, wrists it wide short side, but the shot was humming. Brian FogartyBarrie vs Sudbury (OHL)10/28/202111/8/202110245
Beau JelsmaSummaryHe had moments when he looked great, and moments when he looked average. Good mobility, but lacks strength when it comes to battling against defenders for position. He got knocked off his feet several times in the game.Brian FogartyBarrie vs Sudbury (OHL)10/28/202111/8/202110245
Beckett SenneckeNoteStrong stride, big and powerful.Brian FogartyOshawa vs London (OHL)2/28/20243/5/202410298
Beckett SenneckeNoteGood-vision chip pass trying to spring a breakaway.Brian FogartyOshawa vs London (OHL)2/28/20243/5/202410298
Beckett SenneckeNoteOpens his hips to the pass, smooth catch and carry into the offensive zone, holds, draws two defenders, then dishes to the point.Brian FogartyOshawa vs London (OHL)2/28/20243/5/202410298
Beckett SenneckeNoteAcceleration and a long stretch keeps the puck from skidding out the offensive zone and he keeps the attack alive. The ensuing pass from the corner deflects into the net. That goal doesn't happen without Sennecke's effort at the blue line.Brian FogartyOshawa vs London (OHL)2/28/20243/5/202410298
Beckett SenneckeNoteGood one-timer attempt even though the pass forced him off balance.Brian FogartyOshawa vs London (OHL)2/28/20243/5/202410298

Ben BujoldNoteAlso killing penalties.Brian FogartyGuelph vs London (OHL)11/9/202111/21/202110248
Ben BujoldNoteRips a cross-ice pass, but it was too hard for the right wing to handle, and it bounced off his blade and into the corner.Brian FogartyGuelph vs London (OHL)11/9/202111/21/202110248
Ben JonesNoteBen Jones scores for the Ice Dogs, his fourth of the year for the ’99 birthday. Zachary DeVineNiagara vs Barrie (OHL)3/4/20163/4/201610044
Ben KingNoteHard pass from the boards looking for the backdoor play, but Sorenson can't get his stick down to it. If Sorenson would have had his stick on the ice, that was an easy tap-in goal.Brian FogartyRed Deer vs Calgary (WHL)2/1/20202/2/202010213
Ben KingNoteSwoops in to steal a drop pass and go the other way with it, beginning a partial two-on-one. Up the left side, slows as the second defender gets back, and then passes to the trailer. Smart, simple play.Brian FogartyRed Deer vs Calgary (WHL)2/1/20202/2/202010213
Ben KingNoteAt the offensive blue line while Calgary is trying to break out. A clearance attempt comes at him and he tries to kick it, misses, and a Calgary forward gets a 50/50 chance against the last man back.Brian FogartyRed Deer vs Calgary (WHL)2/1/20202/2/202010213
Ben KingNoteNot the flashiest of puck handlers.Brian FogartyRed Deer vs Calgary (WHL)2/1/20202/2/202010213
Ben KingNoteHe has been on the ice a lot, but he's not producing or making anything happen when he's out there. Brian FogartyRed Deer vs Calgary (WHL)2/1/20202/2/202010213
Ben KingNotePlaying low corner boards on the powerplay and the play is going through him. He's doing a good job holding and distributing, but Calgary is not pressuring him at all.Brian FogartyRed Deer vs Calgary (WHL)2/1/20202/2/202010213
Ben KingNoteToo stationary while on the penalty kill. Just standing still at the top of the box.Brian FogartyRed Deer vs Calgary (WHL)2/1/20202/2/202010213
Ben KingNoteEverything seems a bit too deliberate.Brian FogartyRed Deer vs Calgary (WHL)2/1/20202/2/202010213
Ben KingSummaryThere was nothing to dislike in King's game, but nothing remarkable at this stage, either. His skating is okay, a bit above average. The biggest problem I saw in this game was that he seemed to take a beat too long to execute everything he tried. It's noticeable at this level, but will become more pronounced moving forward if he can't improve his play processing speed.Brian FogartyRed Deer vs Calgary (WHL)2/1/20202/2/202010213
Ben Scrivens SummaryScrivens has forgotten how to play goalie. Confidence has to be shattered, looked absolutely lost, dazed and confused. Routine saves turned into adventures and ultimately goals. Zachary DeVineBakersfield vs San Jose (AHL)12/5/20154234310010

Benoit-Olivier GroulxSummarySize, skating and quality hands. Still looks raw and inconsistent at times. Takes a hit to make a play, and willing to engage in puck battles. His skating at 6'3 is a big plus attribute, as he looks fluid in all four directions with excellent speed.Brian FogartyCape Breton vs Halifax (QMJHL)3/17/2017Not Available10134
Benoit-Olivier GroulxNoteGood burst to get up into the neutral zone on a back check, takes the angle, and shoulders the puck carrier into the boards. NiceBrian FogartyCharlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL)10/1/201710/1/201710144
Benoit-Olivier GroulxNoteTakes a wide pass with one hand in stride, pulls it out in front of himself, head up into the offensive zone, then makes a drop pass that was so smooth I barely noticed it.Brian FogartyCharlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL)10/1/201710/1/201710144

Benoit-Olivier GroulxSummaryThe patience, skating and two-way mentality all point to a player who can make an impact at the NHL level. Once he puts everything together, could become a high-impact player and a top-15 pick.Brian FogartyCharlottetown vs Halifax (QMJHL)10/1/201710/1/201710144

Benoit-Olivier GroulxNoteUses his size and strength to work himself into a great shooting position but fubs the shot. Can't win 'em all.Kris AllenHalifax vs Saint John (QMJHL)3/14/20184317310176
Benoit-Olivier GroulxNote5-on-3 powerplay for Halifax and he absolutely crushes a shot right into the goalie then chased down the rebound but missed the shot. This kid just knows he can get to any puck on the ice and uses his size and reach to his advantage.Kris AllenHalifax vs Saint John (QMJHL)3/14/20184317310176
Benoit-Olivier GroulxNoteStrong effort to break up 2-on-1 and follows it up by busting through three defenders to generate a scoring chance. I swear this kid gets better every time I see him.Kris AllenHalifax vs Saint John (QMJHL)3/14/20184317310176
Benoit-Olivier GroulxNoteSkated like a man on a mission to cleanly disrupt what was very nearly a breakaway. The kid doesn’t always show up on the score sheet but he knows how to contribute in many other ways.Kris AllenHalifax vs Saint John (QMJHL)3/14/20184317310176
Benoit-Olivier GroulxNoteA deadly accurate shot over the goalies shoulder. Bo has arrived!Kris AllenHalifax vs Saint John (QMJHL)3/14/20184317310176
Benoit-Olivier GroulxSummaryWas invisible in the 1st period but really came on as the game progressed. The scoring upside is somewhat limited here but coaches will like the well-rounded skillset he brings to the table. Late 1st unless a conservative team feels he fills a need for them and reaches.Kris AllenHalifax vs Saint John (QMJHL)3/14/20184317310176

Benoit-Olivier GroulxNoteSeems to be adapting his game to a style that has the best chance for his future success. He's not trying the high-risk, high-dazzle plays, but is battling along the boards, going to the net, getting into the corners.

Bobby BrinkNoteHe really needs a skating coach. His feet move, but his body goes nowhere. It's a liability for him even at the U18 level. A defender just closed on him with two strides.Brian FogartyUSA vs Russia (2019 World U-18s)4/27/20195/9/201910194

Bogdan YakimovNoteDoesn't seem to generate any power from his legs, and that might be why he doesn't play strong on the puck.Brian FogartyBakersfield vs San Jose (AHL)11/8/20154231610002
Bogdan YakimovNoteYakimov is very top heavy. Twice he took taps to his back in the offensive-zone slot and both times he nearly fell over.Brian FogartyBakersfield vs San Jose (AHL)11/8/20154231610002
Bogdan YakimovSummaryYakimov looks to be a rare breed of hockey player: a big man who might rather be smaller. He has decent puck skills, but his feet are so heavy, his skating so deliberate and awkward, and his lack of power in his legs makes Yakimov look as if he is constantly teetering on the verge of tipping over. Based on this viewing, I would put the probability of Yakimov becoming an NHL player at less than ten percent.Brian FogartyBakersfield vs San Jose (AHL)11/8/20154231610002
Bogdan YakimovSummaryTerrible, upright and underpowered skating drags down an otherwise talented prospect. Massive frame, good hands and good vision, “Yak” can see what he needs to do and has the hands to do it, but the wheels just don’t have the ability to do what the head wants them to.Zachary DeVineBakersfield vs San Jose (AHL)11/8/20154231610002

Bowen ByramNotePlants a shoulder into the puck carrier, knocks him off the puck, and when another opposing forward grabs the loose puck and tries to go by him, Byram plants a shoulder into him, too, and knocks him off the puck as well. Serious physical play from the 15-year-old bluelinerBrian FogartyKelowna vs Portland (WHL)3/3/2017Not Available10132

Bowen ByramNoteI get the sense that if there were four forecheckers closing on him, he still wouldn't look flustered or rush the play.Brian FogartyCHL Top Prospects Game 20191/23/20191/24/201910187
Bowen ByramNoteDown by a goal, thirty seconds left, and he's standing on the bench itching to get back on the ice.Brian FogartyCHL Top Prospects Game 20191/23/20191/24/201910187
Bowen ByramSummaryHas the complete tool kit to develop into a force at the NHL level. He has NHL size at 6'1 192 pounds, and his skating is smooth, highly agile and with excellent acceleration and speed. Never hurried, never panicked, gets his team into its best position to convert transitions into offensive pressure. Still needs polishing in his defensive play but not a lot. Looks to be an easy top-ten prospect for the 2019 draft, and could compete for a spot among the second tier after Hughes and Kakko.Brian FogartyCHL Top Prospects Game 20191/23/20191/24/201910187

Brad LambertNoteHis game in a snapshot: he's first to a puck in the corner. Tries to change direction back behind the net, loses the puck, watches the Austrian player skate away.Brian FogartyFinland vs Austria (WJC 2022)12/27/20215/24/202210262
Brad LambertNoteFour-on-four, he hits the offensive zone with speed, then tries to take on all four Austrian players instead of looking for anyone else. What was that?Brian FogartyFinland vs Austria (WJC 2022)12/27/20215/24/202210262
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)12/27/20215/24/202210262
Brad LambertNoteOn the powerplay, carries--flying--up the left wing, runs out of space, pulls up, passes to the defender.Brian FogartySeattle vs Peterborough (Memorial Cup 2023)6/2/20236/3/202310285

Braden SchneiderNoteGets caught way up ice, and a two-on-two goes the other way, but it takes Schneider a long time to get back into the play. Needs more hustle there.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS)7/31/20199/7/201910195
Braden SchneiderNoteCatches the heavy-footed Cederqvist cutting into the zone and just levels him with a well-placed shoulder check square into the chest. Oooof!Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS)7/31/20199/7/201910195
Braden SchneiderSummaryThere's a lot to like in Schneider's game, including his mobility and positioning, on top of his willingness to bring physical play to his own zone. At 6'2 and 210 pounds, the 2020 draft-eligible needs attention.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (2019 WJSS)7/31/20199/7/201910195

Brady TkachukNoteLooked like his older brother there, muscling his way to the front of the net, imposing his will with one hand on his stick while defenders are tugging on his arm, pulling at his waist, grabbing at anything they can, yet Brady still manages to one-hand the puck into the goaltender's skates, and eventually Tkachuk earns the assist and the rebound is slammed home.Brian FogartyBoston University vs Boston College (NCAA)12/2/201712/10/201710148

Brandon CoeSummaryPlaying the U17 challenge at 15 (2020 draft eligible), standing 6'3 and 179 pounds, Coe displayed excellent speed, compete, puck skills and hockey intelligence.

Brandon CoeNoteEngaged in the play all over the ice. Looks like he's anticipating well on that shift. Then throws a nice forecheck hit in the corner. Not only that, but his pressure draws a penalty for delay.Brian FogartyNorth Bay vs Niagara (OHL)3/29/20194/29/201910191

Brandon SvobodaSummaryHe's 6'3, 212 pounds and his a very good skater, with easy mobility. Battles in the corners and on the walls. Not a lot of offensive upside at this point, but he has the tools to develop into a sturdy, bottom-six forward especially if he can improve his offense.Brian FogartyDubuque vs Youngstown (USHL)2/17/20233/5/202310275

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)12/19/20196/19/202010221

Brandt ClarkeNoteShort, agile lateral movements. He's highly maneuverable in tight spaces.Brian FogartySault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL)12/19/20196/19/202010221
Brandt ClarkeNoteIn the offensive zone, puck on his stick, dips around a defender, closes on net, and a flick of his wrist beats the goaltender from three feet out, but he hits the post. Brian FogartySault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL)12/19/20196/19/202010221
Brandt ClarkeNoteStandard setup has him on the left halfboards while on the powerplay.Brian FogartySault Ste Marie vs Barrie (OHL)12/19/20196/19/202010221
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)12/19/20196/19/202010221
Brandt ClarkeNoteClarke is easily the best player on the ice in this game. So assured, a constant presence, always dangerous.Brian FogartyBarrie vs Sudbury (OHL)10/28/202111/8/202110245

Braxton WhiteheadNoteQuick to a loose puck, then uses his speed to create a chance and draw a penalty.Brian FogartyRegina vs Winnipeg (WHL)4/3/20214/8/202110227
Braxton WhiteheadSummaryHis best attribute is his skating, showing both agility and speed. Gets to loose pucks, jumps into plays at both ends. He did not get many looks at the net in this game, but his hands looked okay. Needs seasoning.Brian FogartyRegina vs Winnipeg (WHL)4/3/20214/8/202110227

Brayden BoehmNoteTracking the play, looks engaged, but he's more of an observer than a participant. Brian FogartyMedicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL)3/5/20213/12/202110225
Brayden BoehmSummaryPlays a physical game with good skating, but in this game at least, the play was generally out of his effective range of interaction. Many times he was in the middle of the zone but the play was along the boards, etc. It made it difficult to get a good read on his puck skills.Brian FogartyMedicine Hat vs Edmonton (WHL)3/5/20213/12/202110225
Brayden BoehmNoteGoes back to the bench hard.Brian FogartyEdmonton vs Medicine Hat (WHL)4/25/20217/16/202110233

Brayden BurkeNoteGets a goal by driving to the front of the net and Peckford finds him from the boards. If Burke skated like that all over the ice, he'd be a much better player.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL)1/3/20181/23/201810161
Brayden BurkeNoteHis game in one sequence: puck on his stick in the offensive zone, shows fancy footwork and puck handling to work around a defender, pulls up, forces a backhand pass to the low boards, intercepted, easy zone clearance for the opposition.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL)1/3/20181/23/201810161
Brayden BurkeSummaryThere's no doubt about his offensive play--his hands are excellent, he gets his shot of quickly with power and good accuracy whether it’s a wrist shot, slapshot or one-timers. His passes are accurate when he picks out the right play. On the down side, he forces the play too often, making high-risk choices and at times just giving up the puck when he runs out of skating room. Shows little effort on defense or away from the puck. Vision is great, awareness is not, and his lack of competitive effort is a major concern.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL)1/3/20181/23/201810161
Brayden PointNoteDidn't play against Everett. No information on why. Zachary DeVineMoose Jaw vs. Everett (WHL)11/27/2015Not Available10007

Brayden SchuurmanNoteSweeping one-timer snap shot, on net, difficult for the goaltender because of the lengthy release point.Brian FogartyKamloops vs Victoria (WHL)11/6/202111/26/202110249
Brayden SchuurmanNoteSpeed without the puck, slices through and takes a pass for a clean look, but the puck rolls off his stick. He exploded through the neutral zone to start that chance.Brian FogartyKamloops vs Victoria (WHL)11/6/202111/26/202110249
Brayden SchuurmanNoteHe's long, but he's not using his reach to protect the puck.Brian FogartyKamloops vs Victoria (WHL)11/6/202111/26/202110249
Brayden SchuurmanNoteHe mostly skates at a leisurely pace, but then he shows the crazy acceleration and he's gone.Brian FogartyKamloops vs Victoria (WHL)11/6/202111/26/202110249
Brayden SchuurmanNoteLoose puck, gets it, instant shot just wide. He converts pucks into shots extremely fast. Brian FogartyKamloops vs Victoria (WHL)11/6/202111/26/202110249
Brayden TraceyNoteLooks remarkably thin.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s)4/27/20195/9/201910193
Brayden TraceyNoteSet up a good three-way sequence, but after his initial pass, he didn't move his feet and the play fizzled out.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s)4/27/20195/9/201910193
Brayden TraceyNoteShort strides but he gains speed well. Could become faster and a more powerful skater if he wants it.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s)4/27/20195/9/201910193
Brayden YagerNoteSwift, smooth acceleration.Brian FogartyWinnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL)10/23/202111/2/202110244

Brayden YagerNoteAnother chance from the slot, this one saved, but barely.Brian FogartyWinnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL)10/23/202111/2/202110244
Brayden YagerNoteIn on the left side of a two-on-one. Alarie sets him up, and Yager blasts a huge one-timer for his second goal of the game. Likes how he opened his hips to the chance and kept his pace laterally as the puck came to him. Great shot.Brian FogartyWinnipeg vs Moose Jaw (WHL)10/23/202111/2/202110244
Brayden YagerNoteNever seems to force the play, but he's always involved.Brian FogartyCanada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022)8/5/20228/6/202210266
Brayden YagerNoteOne pp sequence: carries in, passes behind the net to the far corner. Circles back, waits, gets the puck and shoots low far side, kick save. Curls back to the same spot, gets the puck and shows shot but passes far circle for a onetime chance, hits the post. Curls back again. Gets the puck, wrists it high short side off the bar and out of play. What an excellent display of patience, shooting, passing, and awareness. Gorgeous play.Brian FogartyCanada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022)8/5/20228/6/202210266
Brayden YagerNoteI really liked his game a year ago. Now, he's at a whole new level of poise, and intelligent play.Brian FogartyCanada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky Cup 2022)8/5/20228/6/202210266

Brendan BrissonNoteHe looks like a player who really likes to use his edges, shifting, changing speeds and skating lines, dancing out there.Brian FogartyChicago vs Madison (USHL)2/28/20203/23/202010218
Brendan BrissonNoteQuick shot off a feed from the corner.Brian FogartyChicago vs Madison (USHL)2/28/20203/23/202010218
Brendan BrissonNoteCutting to the net, pass comes behind him, reaches back, receives it, continues into a 360-degree spin and at the end of it fires a pass back across the crease, and Colangelo finishes. That’s what truly nimble skating and good hands and vision can do.Brian FogartyChicago vs Madison (USHL)2/28/20203/23/202010218
Brendan BrissonNoteAnother creative feed, this time a lateral pass back between his legs. He's clever with the puck. Brian FogartyChicago vs Madison (USHL)2/28/20203/23/202010218
Brendan BrissonNoteIn a footrace with Bantle who was carrying the puck, and Brisson is matching him with not much effort.Brian FogartyChicago vs Madison (USHL)2/28/20203/23/202010218
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. Brian FogartyChicago vs Madison (USHL)2/28/20203/23/202010218
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)11/14/202011/14/202010224
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)11/14/202011/14/202010224
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)11/14/202011/14/202010224
Brendan De JongNoteDe Jong doesn’t have his stick tying up Millar stick. Defensive positioning is weak, especially for his size. Zachary DeVinePortland vs Everett (OHL)3/26/20163/26/201610054
Brendan De JongNoteDeJong desperately needs to get meat on his frame. Good height. Zachary DeVinePortland vs Everett (OHL)3/25/20163/25/201610053
Brendan De JongNoteDeJong’s fluid skating. Good edges and good movement Zachary DeVinePortland vs Everett (OHL)3/25/20163/25/201610053
Brendan De JongNoteDe Jong defensively isn’t there. Bad body positioning, stick off the ice. Just absent defensively. Zachary DeVinePortland vs Everett (OHL)3/29/20163/29/201610055
Brendan De JongSummaryDe Jong has solid skating ability, but not much else. Needs lots of physical development, defensive game is a glaring weakness and did not exhibit the offensive vision or ability to overlook defensive mistakes. Might be a very long term project. Zachary DeVinePortland vs Everett (OHL)3/29/20163/29/201610055

Brendan PerliniNoteBeen on the bench for almost all of the third period.Brian FogartyNiagara vs Barrie (OHL)3/4/20163/4/201610044
Brendan PerliniSummaryPerlini sat the third period after the coach pegged him to bench for presumably allowing a short-handed goal on a two-on-one against. Still, Perlini has all of the tools-size, skill, skating--to become a top-six, 50 point-per-season possession forward in the NHL.Brian FogartyNiagara vs Barrie (OHL)3/4/20163/4/201610044
Brendan PerliniNotePerlini is having a terrible tournament and this might be his worst game of it. Penalties and dumb play is his hallmark. Never liked his game, like it less now. Zachary DeVineFinland vs. Canada (WJC 2016)1/2/20161/2/201610024
Brett BerardNotePushes up to beat the puck to the blue line, keeps it in the zone, backhands to the player on the boards. Fast hands. Good jump.Brian FogartyDes Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL)11/15/20193/23/202010219
Brett BerardNoteCircles around to the right side, sneaking in behind the penalty killers, handles a tough pass, sends the now-hurried shot wide.Brian FogartyDes Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL)11/15/20193/23/202010219
Brett BerardNoteGood read from the neutral zone, picks off a poor choice by Lovell, then a nasty snap shot beats the goalie low. Berard got that away in a flash.Brian FogartyDes Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL)11/15/20193/23/202010219

Brett BerardNoteOn the defensive blue line, passes to the driving forward, but puts it in his skates and the run of play turns back into his zone.Brian FogartyDes Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL)11/15/20193/23/202010219
Brett BerardNoteChirping and chopping on the edge of the faceoff dot. Feisty.Brian FogartyDes Moines vs USNTDP U18s (USHL)11/15/20193/23/202010219
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)11/15/20193/23/202010219
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)11/15/20193/23/202010219
Brett HarrisonNoteIn the slot in traffic, taking bumps and crosschecks but mostly keeping his balance. The puck lands at his feet and he puts it straight on net. Good glove stopped him but he got that shot away fast.Brian FogartyKingston vs Oshawa (OHL)1/25/20201/31/202010212

Brett HarrisonNoteChips a puck ahead of him over the blue line and charges after it, got a good bounce, ducks around the defender and draws a penalty shot. Excellent effort to make that entire sequence happen. For the penalty shot, he comes in slow, doesn't try much, then takes a wrist shot but there was just no room there. Saved by patient positioning.Brian FogartyKingston vs Oshawa (OHL)1/25/20201/31/202010212
Brett HarrisonNoteBack hand roof at close to full speed. Solid move, superb finish.Brian FogartyKingston vs Oshawa (OHL)1/25/20201/31/202010212
Brett HarrisonSummaryPlays an honest game by sticking to fundamentals of play at both ends. He will go the front of the net, stays positionally aware on defense, and is a reliable faceoff man in his own zone. On top of that, he has good to very good speed, showed decent agility, and has a high level of scoring drive and touch around the net. As he develops he should be able to refine and improve his pro-style play.Brian FogartyKingston vs Oshawa (OHL)1/25/20201/31/202010212
Brett HarrisonNoteMoving up ice expecting the puck to be carried out of the zone, but he wasn't really supporting the play at all. Forechecker stops the progress of the puckcarrier, and Harrison just kept skating despite being maybe ten feet from the puck.Brian FogartyOshawa vs Sudbury (OHL)1/9/20221/18/202210253

Brett HowdenSummaryHowden has a good motor but too many times the puck handling skills have not allowed him to do much with the puck. He will be an NHL player some day, but the offensive upside that many hope for from him was not on display at NJEC. Zachary DeVineNJEC 2016 - Team Canada vs Team Finland8/2/20168/2/201610077

Brett MurrayNoteMurray not showing a lot of refinement or possession skills. Raw player. Zachary DeVineCJHL Top Prospects Game 20161/26/20161/26/201610033
Brett MurraySummaryWhile only one game, Murray did not help himself. Skating was a major red flag and he was always caught by the speedy West defenders. Played smaller than his 6’4, 196-pound frame would suggest. A long-term project, there are a number of holes that would need to be addressed. Zachary DeVineCJHL Top Prospects Game 20161/26/20161/26/201610033
Brett RitchieNoteWorked hard in the offensive zone, drifted back to left circle when the puck was deep behind the net. Set his feet and hands to be in the right position to receive a pass and release a shot or one time pass. When the puck came to him, he had a quick-release wrist shot on goal.Brian FogartyRockford vs Texas (AHL)4/29/2015Not Available10001
Brett RitchieSummaryThere is little doubt that Ritchie has NHL skills, but there seems to be something absent from his game. Perhaps the missing piece is just a case of high expectations unrealized, or maybe it is his style of play that somehow does not translate. Ritchie flashes his talents but then seems to disappear for the next ten minutes. Even so, he finished this game with a team-high seven shots on net. He is a player that begs for repeated viewings, but I have a difficult time seeing him playing above a marginal middle-six role at the NHL level. Brian FogartyRockford vs Texas (AHL)4/29/2015Not Available10001

Brinson PasichnukNotePasichnuk looking gassed, watching him suck air, losing some of the edge I liked in the first period. Continually deployed on the right side as a left-handed defenseman.Zachary DeVineCJHL Top Prospects Game 20161/26/20161/26/201610033
Brinson PasichnukSummaryImpressive game for the 2017 University of Vermont recruit. Played well overall, but really shone with his constant pushing of the attack and ability to use speed to separate from forecheckers or to catch them. Showed good vision and played much bigger than his listed 6’0 height. Also impressed with his ability to play well on the right side as a left shot. Needs refinement but a number of good tools in the tool box. Could be a late round gem for someone. Zachary DeVineCJHL Top Prospects Game 20161/26/20161/26/201610033

Brock BoeserSummaryBoeser’s skating and nose for the net served him well at the NJEC. His decision making at times was a bit slow, but the right play was always seen. His release is among the best on any team, maybe top 10 of the prospects outside of the NHL. Was a key offensive driver on Team USA. Zachary DeVineNJEC 2016 - NJEC8/2/20168/2/201610076

Brodie ZiemerSummaryHe showed effectiveness at both ends of the ice, and was not relying on Hagens to create the plays (although he was willing and able to take advantage when Hagens did). Ziemer isn't flashy, but he makes plays, showed a good shot, and hustled all over. He's going to make a nice, solid professional, I think.Brian FogartyUS vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024)5/2/20245/21/202410308

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)9/24/20219/29/202110237
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)3/18/20233/30/202310276

Bryce McConnell-BarkerNoteLoving his pace and non-stop energy.Brian FogartyNorth Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL)10/22/202111/11/202110246
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. Brian FogartyNorth Bay vs Sault Ste Marie (OHL)10/22/202111/11/202110246
Brycen MartinNoteMartin’s carelessness with the puck leads to another icing. Almost turned over the puck by leaving it behind the net for a forechecker. Zachary DeVineVictoria vs Everett (WHL)2/13/20162/13/201610039
Brycen MartinNoteMartin again just whacks at the puck, not much composure with it on his stick. Zachary DeVineVictoria vs Everett (WHL)2/13/20162/13/201610039
Brycen MartinNoteMartin does a strange hop to pivot to back-skating and cannot accelerate well because of it. Skating needs work. Zachary DeVineVictoria vs Everett (WHL)2/13/20162/13/201610039
Brycen MartinSummaryBrycen Martin was careless with the puck. Passes were not crisp and shots were often into shin pads. Skating needs some attention as well, especially laterally and pivots. Not his best game, but has some upside. Zachary DeVineVictoria vs Everett (WHL)2/13/20162/13/201610039

Brycen MartinSummaryMartin played a great series. Multiple times he made a hard play with the Portland forechecker draped on him. Took care of the puck, and carried it up the ice. Only made one or two real mistakes with the puck while playing heavy minutes. Skating is solid and defensively was the best Silvertip over the four game sweep.

Cal FooteSummaryEasy to see why Foote is considered a top prospect in the 2017 Draft. Already physically developed, he is the latest to come out of the Kelowna Rockets defenseman factory. Decisions were good with and without the puck, skating is above average, defensive game beyond his years. First round talent with zero doubt. Zachary DeVineNJEC 2016 - NJEC8/2/20168/2/201610076
Cal FooteNoteFoote is the only 2017 left for Team Canada and it’s easy to see why. Against Marner’s bag of tricks stayed calm and well positioned, then a smart poke check to thwart Marner, takes the puck around the net, and bulls through the small winger and carries the puck up ice.

Caleb JonesSummaryCaleb Jones not on the scoresheet but makes good, fast decisions with the puck. Sees the ice really well and haven’t seen a bad pass or play from him all night. Steady play all around. Zachary DeVine Everett vs Portland (WHL)2/12/20162/12/201610038
Caleb JonesNoteJones rubs out Soy to eliminate him, joins the play going the other way and beats Outhouse to win the game. Zachary DeVineVictoria vs Portland (WHL)2/14/20162/14/201610040
Caleb JonesNoteJones with two clearing attempts intercepted. Zachary DeVineVictoria vs Portland (WHL)2/14/20162/14/201610040
Caleb JonesNoteHad the game-winning goal on a smart defensive play: Rubs Tyler Soy out on the boards in order to separate the man from the puck, skates out of the zone, smart pass to a winger, drives the net to pot the game winner. Jones isn’t as dynamic as his brother, but the hockey smarts are there and he is a very good skater. Zachary DeVineVictoria vs Portland (WHL)2/14/20162/14/201610040
Caleb JonesNoteJones either does too little to far too much. Needs to find some middle ground in his game. Zachary DeVinePortland vs Everett (OHL)3/30/20163/30/201610056
Caleb JonesNoteJones has very good acceleration and balance on his skatesZachary DeVinePortland vs Everett (OHL)3/30/20163/30/201610056
Caleb JonesSummaryJones’ series could only be viewed as a disappointment. He was largely quiet for long stretches of the game and had trouble carrying the puck against the Everett trap. When he was noticeable, he was trying to do everything by himself and force plays. Liked his game better earlier in the year. Zachary DeVinePortland vs Everett (OHL)3/30/20163/30/201610056
Caleb JonesNoteJones has been a non-factor in the first Zachary DeVinePortland vs Everett (OHL)3/29/20163/29/201610055

Caleb JonesNoteJones trying to do too much on his own, not using teammates Zachary DeVinePortland vs Everett (OHL)3/25/20163/25/201610053
Caleb JonesSummaryContinues to confuse me. At times has solid puck skills and good decisions. Next shift is selfish and forcing plays while carrying the puck. Has a tendency to skate himself right out of the play as well. Physical tools are there, but the on-ice awareness and use of teammates has to be much better. Zachary DeVineNJEC 2016 - NJEC8/2/20168/2/201610076
Caleb JonesNoteCaleb Jones has some impressive skills, but I’d like to see him use his teammates more. Zachary DeVineNJEC 2016 - USA Team Blue vs. Team Finland 7/30/20167/30/201610069

Calem MangoneNoteThe epitome of his game: takes a shot left side, hits the post, there's a puck scramble that kicks the puck out right side and he's there to put it back on net. Then the puck goes the other way and he's the first one back to defend.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024)5/23/20245/24/202410312
Calem MangoneNoteHe can really unleash a wrist shot. This time he hits the post again.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024)5/23/20245/24/202410312
Calem MangoneSummaryHe plays an honest game and lives between the dots down low. He'll front up at the crease, battles hard everywhere, shows great agility and balance, and is all around a very good hockey player. I'll be shocked if he doesn't get drafted this year (his draft +1 season).Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saginaw (Memorial Cup 2024)5/23/20245/24/202410312
Calen AddisonNoteWinds up and releases a bomb of a slapshot that missed the net by at least five feet, but the defender may have gotten a stick on it as Addison shot the puck.Brian FogartyLethbridge vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/21/201811/26/201810181

Calen AddisonSummaryExcels when he is moving the puck up the ice. Good passer, excellent skater and puck handler. Prone to mistakes in his own end, but recovers quickly because of his footwork.

Calum RitchieNoteChokes way up on his stick so he can take in the pass coming directly to him and immediately move the puck out to his left. Deft hands, smart play.Brian FogartyOshawa vs Sudbury (OHL)1/9/20221/18/202210253
Calum RitchieNotePlaying the bumper on the top powerplay unit, but the Generals are keeping the puck on the perimeter for the most part. Brian FogartyOshawa vs Sudbury (OHL)1/9/20221/18/202210253
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. He showed great hockey intelligence, a willingness to get to the dirty areas of the ice, and a high scoring drive. He is a top prospect.Brian FogartyOshawa vs Sudbury (OHL)1/9/20221/18/202210253
Calum RitchieNoteLong wrist shot saved, but more of an attempt to get the puck into play at the net than a true scoring attempt.Brian FogartyKingston vs Oshawa (OHL)1/24/20221/27/202210254
Calum RitchieNoteWouldn't mind seeing him go a little harder on the backcheck, but he's not lazing back, either.Brian FogartyKingston vs Oshawa (OHL)1/24/20221/27/202210254
Calum RitchieNoteAgain, a long, sweeping wrist shot low, again looking more like an set up play than a true attempt to score.Brian FogartyKingston vs Oshawa (OHL)1/24/20221/27/202210254
Calum RitchieNoteGood one-touch pass to Tullio in the slot, but Tullio's one-timer hits a skate and goes wide.Brian FogartyKingston vs Oshawa (OHL)1/24/20221/27/202210254

Cam MorrisonSummaryStrong player who likes to take up space in front of the net. When he gets the puck in the offensive zone, he drives hard to the net and shows good hands to get hard shots and regularly forces saves. His lack of vision limits his threat with the puck however, because defenders can cheat to him without worrying as much about him making a hard-to-find pass.Brian FogartyArizona State vs Notre Dame (NCAA)10/8/201610/10/201610097

Cam YorkSummarySmaller defenseman at 5'11, 165 but he rarely seems overpowered in his own end, and will engage with bigger players. He is fast and agile, and uses his quickness to his advantage to close lanes and change angles on puck carriers. He can skate the puck up ice, and is fast enough to keep up with practically any forward on the ice. An excellent two-way defensive prospect. Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18s vs Sioux Falls (USHL)2/15/20192/20/201910188
Cam YorkNoteWilling to play physically against bigger players.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL)2/16/20192/20/201910189

Cameron AskewNoteFloating at offensive line on the PP while his teammates go retrieve the puck. Does not provide an effective target for a head man pass. Pass is attempted anyway, does not connect, and icing is called against Moncton.Brent CraswellMoncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL)4/8/20164/8/201610060

Cameron WhynotSummaryAlthough at times it was easy to see his lack of experience, Whynot has lot of tools to work with to improve his game. He moves well, shows good sense of when to go up ice, when to fall back, a good shot, good mobility. He's 6'2 and 181 pounds at 16 years old, so seeing this type of play at D-2 is tremendously encouraging.Brian FogartyMoncton vs Halifax (QMJHL)10/25/201911/3/201910198
Carl GrundstromSummarySeemed to be a off week for Grundstrom. Other times I have seen him he has been a solid, hardworking, two-way player.

Carson BantleNoteNice job getting across and stick out to break up a passing lane. He didn't get the takeaway, but he forced the player into a bad pass that led to a turnover.Brian FogartyChicago vs Madison (USHL)2/28/20203/23/202010218
Carson BantleNoteGoing hard through the neutral zone in a puck race. He's digging deep, form looks good but his kick is high and behind him. Still, he has good speed. Should improve with training.Brian FogartyChicago vs Madison (USHL)2/28/20203/23/202010218

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)2/28/20203/23/202010218

Carson RehkopfNoteTwo opponents entering the zone left side, with Rehkopf inside both. He tries to jump past the inner most player to get to the puck carrier instead of keeping position and bottling them both. When he made the jump, the puck carrier read it well and just slipped the pass to his now open teammate with an open lane to the net.Brian FogartyU18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022)7/27/20227/27/202210269

Carson WetschSummaryFast, two-way physical forward who makes up for his lack of offensive creativity with hustle and determination. He's a player who can do it all, but at this point looks unlikely to light up scoreboards anytime soon. Brian FogartyCanada vs Finland (Hlinka-Gretzky 2023)7/31/20239/9/202310290

Carter BearSummaryThere was a lot to like in his play. He was energetic and effective on the forecheck and on defensive play, involved all over the ice, but his puck control in this game at least was a big negative. He needs to improve his puck handling, but if he does, he could become a serviceable prospect.Brian FogartyEverett vs Prince George (WHL)11/20/20232/16/202410296

Carter HartSummaryHart keeping Everett in the game. Under siege but battling to see the puck and getting in front of the puck. Waiting for his team to wake up. Not the most technical display. Hart helpful in back of the net with the puck, often getting the puck to his defense in a better position. Confident with the puck and under forechecker pressure.Zachary DeVineTri-City vs. Everett (WHL)12/2/2015Not Available10008

Carter HartSummaryHart with good economy of movement. He drops to the butterfly a little too early, but seals the posts well. Lateral movement is sound and doesn’t take himself out of position. Solid glove hand and excellent reflexes. Zachary DeVine Everett vs Portland (WHL)2/12/20162/12/201610038
Carter HartSummaryHart tracking the puck very well. Tips, deflections, broken plays and sticks: he is seeing it all. Not getting a ton of support defensively, but kept the Silvertips in the game. Zachary DeVineVictoria vs Everett (WHL)2/13/20162/13/201610039
Carter HartSummaryAlways amazing to watch, Hart's anticipation sets him apart. He isn’t as athletic as some of his peers, but he does not have to be. He sees and thinks the game at a level far higher than normal at this level. Three years of development and he could easily be seen as a goaltender in the NHL.Zachary DeVineNJEC 2016 - NJEC8/2/20168/2/201610076

Carter MazurNoteThumping hit, but a half-tick too late for IIHF play, and he's called for interference. Nice physical play, though. Legal in the NHL.Brian FogartySlovakia vs US (WJC 2022)12/26/20213/3/202210257
Carter MazurNotePowerplay sequence he just showeda hard wrist shot, a driving slapper, and good net front presence. Not a highly accurate shot, but hard, hard, hard.Brian FogartySlovakia vs US (WJC 2022)12/26/20213/3/202210257
Carter MazurSummarySpeeding, physical best with some skill. Probably not a scoring forward at the NHL level, but certainly has the style of play to get him there in a bottom six capacity.Brian FogartySlovakia vs US (WJC 2022)12/26/20213/3/202210257
Carter TresoorNoteNice reach to gather a loose puck, but he then tries to make a risky pass instead of the better possession option. His team is down by four goals late, so it's time to take risks, but there was a better choice to be made there.Brian FogartyKitchner vs London (OHL)10/20/20184339810179

Carter YakemchukNoteRight-handed shot playing the left point in the powerplay, but he's moving around the top a lot.Brian FogartyCalgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL)12/15/20235/23/202410310

Carter YakemchukNoteA turnover in the neutral zone and the puck finds his stick. He leads a two-on-one rush from the left side, holds on his way in looking pass, then shoots--saved--but he follows his shot and buries the rebound.Brian FogartyCalgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL)12/15/20235/23/202410310

Carter YakemchukNoteI'm not a fan of his defensive positioning. He's getting out too high, too often.Brian FogartyCalgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL)12/15/20235/23/202410310
Carter YakemchukNoteRisky with his feet and with his passingBrian FogartyCalgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL)12/15/20235/23/202410310
Carter YakemchukSummaryHe is a risk-and-reward defender, no question. He sees so much, but his passing at times couldn't translate the play he saw into the play on the ice. Very good skater, good size, lots of physicality, but he made some bad choices and needs work on his overall game awareness, I think.Brian FogartyCalgary vs Medicine Hat (WHL)12/15/20235/23/202410310
Casey FitzgeraldSummaryUnderstated and simple game, Fitzgerald had a lot of physical plays for Team USA. He was one of the few big bodies at camp and made sure he was sound defensively and careful with the puck. With so many skilled puck movers paired with him, not much was seen offensively, but he knew his role. Zachary DeVineNJEC 2016 - NJEC8/2/20168/2/201610076

Casey MittelstadtSummaryUnderwhelming performance for the highly-touted Minnesota product. Looked timid and confused at times on the ice with the older skilled players, even if he had the same or more skill than they. The speed of the game was a challenge for him. Mittlestadt will return to play high school hockey this fall and couple that with USHL time. I think this is a mistake. Zachary DeVineNJEC 2016 - NJEC8/2/20168/2/201610076
Casey MittelstadtNoteMittlestadt has shown flashes of offensive instincts, but looks reserved out on the ice. Only day one, plenty of time to acclimate. Zachary DeVineNJEC 2016 - White Practice 7/29/20167/29/201610067

Casey MittelstadtSummaryThe offensive skills are excellent, with a deceptive and startlingly quick release. His vision and leadership in the offensive zone are reflective of his ability to think the game at a high level. Not a blazing skater, but not deficient, and good ability to maintain speed at a glide. The one thing lacking in this game seemed to be an urgency to make things happen on every shift. Brian FogartyGreen Bay vs Des Moines (USHL)11/5/201611/5/201610100

In overtime, absolutely destroys an opponent with a move a center ice, brings the puck into the offensive zone, feeds Pitlick in the high slot who then wrists a shot, saved, but Mittlestadt, continuing to the net snaps the rebound home for the game-winning goal. Remarkable, fantastic shift.Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Notre Dame (NCAA)1/27/20181/27/201810163

Cayden LindstromNoteWhat an excellent sequence that started with him calling out directions in his own end, taking a pass at the red line left side, zone entry pass to the high slot cutter. The defender poked the puck away but right back to Lindstrom and he one-touched a pass to the right dot that gave Martone an unobstructed line to the net. Beautiful play.Brian FogartyCanada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024)8/5/20234/25/202410304

Cayden LindstromNoteActive in the defensive zone, patrolling the slot, puck goes out to the neutral zone and he's hard up ice.Gets a nice saucer pass from Martone, holds the puck at length backhand, gains a full step plus on the defender trying to keep up, then pulls the puck back to forehand as he jams on the brakes and lifts the puck over the goalie's right shoulder. Gorgeous goal.Brian FogartyCanada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024)8/5/20234/25/202410304

Cayden LindstromSummaryAlthough there are some aspects to his skating and game that need development, Lindstrom is a multi-category beast of a prospect. Fast and agile at 6'4, 205. Great hands and vision with serious game awareness. He's going to be a star. Brian FogartyCanada vs Czechia (Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024)8/5/20234/25/202410304

Chad KrysNoteKrys defensively is an adventure. Hard time staying on his skates, not effective in his own zone, often out muscled and out competed for ice. Zachary DeVineGreen Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL)1/30/20161/30/201610035

Chad KrysSummaryContinue to have questions about defensive awareness of Krys. Not seeing a lot of inspired offensive skills that an undersized defensive prospect will need to translate to higher levels. More viewings are needed to really see the defensive side. Zachary DeVineGreen Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL)1/30/20161/30/201610035
Chad KrysNoteNot a fan of Krys’ decisions with the puck and the execution is not what you hope to see. Zachary DeVineNJEC 2016 - USA Team Blue vs Team Sweden7/31/20167/31/201610071

Chad KrysSummaryKrys was a faller for me in the 2016 draft and this camp only confirmed it for me. Defensively he is unreliable and can over stickhandle with the puck. Positioning when he’s without the puck looks unsure and the size is missing as well. Zachary DeVineNJEC 2016 - NJEC8/2/20168/2/201610076

Charlie McAvoyNoteMcAvoy needs to shoot/get it at the net. Three times in the first he has over-passed. Getting in good positions, needs to have faith in his mittsZachary DeVineUSA vs. Sweden (WJC 2016)12/28/201512/28/201510018
Charlie McAvoyNoteMacAvoy turned around twice on the same drill. Zachary DeVineNJEC 2016 - Blue Practice 7/29/20167/29/201610062
Charlie McAvoySummaryHis game is growing on me after a few mediocre viewings last year. Offensively he was solid and made a lot of plays happen. Defensively he was better but timing and zone reads need to improve further. MacAvoy has all the raw tools, but they are very raw. I view him as a bit of a project defenseman with massive upside.

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

Chase StillmanSummaryA young player (2021 draft eligible) in his rookie OHL season who shows the signs of inexperience. He's currently listed at 5'10, 174 pounds, but his father, former NHLer and current Sudbury coach Cory Stillman, was 6'0, 200 when he played. Chase plays with a lot of energy, is competitive and has some physicality, and he looks like a player that has good hockey sense but hasn't yet been able to put it all together. Moves around the ice well and has decent offensive instincts, so his development over the next year will be key. It will be interesting to watch him later this season to see how much improvement he gains over his rookie year.Brian FogartySudbury vs Saginaw (OHL)10/26/201912/5/201910200

Christian FischerSummaryFischer has the wheels and compete level for the pro game, not sure the offensive upside is there. His ability to play both with and without the puck was good and not a single second of any shift was taken off.

Christian FolinSummaryConfidence with the puck is needed. His passes and moves up the ice need to come quicker, his decisions were not happening at AHL speeds in this game.

Christoph BertschyNoteBertschy has had some extra curricular stuff going on with the lumber. Not dirty, got a bit of agitator in him it seems.Zachary DeVineIowa vs San Jose (AHL)3/19/20163/19/201610052

Christoph BertschySummaryQuickness is a hallmark in Bertschy’s game and it was on display in Stockton and again in San Jose. Skating is high-end and solid puck possession skills and confidence with the puck on his stick. If Bertschy had more size, there would be much more fanfare. Zachary DeVineIowa vs San Jose (AHL)3/19/20163/19/201610052

Christoph BertschyNoteBertschy can skate. Wow. Zachary DeVineIowa vs Stockton (AHL)3/18/20163/18/201610051
Christoph BertschySummaryBertschy inserted himself in the game notes with a feisty, fast-skating game. He is not a big player, but mixes it up physically and a good dose of sand in his game, always seeming to get a few whacks in after the whistle. Skating is excellent in all facets. Quick acceleration, lateral movement, stops on a dime, good top speed. Player to watch. Zachary DeVineIowa vs Stockton (AHL)3/18/20163/18/201610051

Christopher SedoffNoteA little off balance because he was leaning out too far trying lunge into the body of the puck carrier. He misses the attempt and stumbles, and the puck carrier gets around him to feed Focht in the slot for a goal. Sedoff's worst moment of the game.Brian FogartyRed Deer vs Calgary (WHL)2/1/20202/2/202010213
Christopher SedoffSummaryHe was one of Red Deer's prime defenders, playing a lot of quality minutes in this game. He skates very well, is maneuverable laterally and backwards, and he gets the puck up ice either passing or skating. He'll get in the rush and his shot is good. He plays reliable positional defense and although he doesn't play a very physical game, he uses his positioning to keep attackers away from the net. Needs more development, for sure, but a decent defensive prospect who could develop an adequate two-way game for the AHL and potentially NHL level, likely on a bottom pair.Brian FogartyRed Deer vs Calgary (WHL)2/1/20202/2/202010213
Clayton KellerNoteBellows backhands puck and the goalie saves it, but Bellows sees the puck on top of the goalie's pads and hits the pad to knock the puck in. Good awareness. Zachary DeVineGreen Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL)1/30/20161/30/201610035

Clayton KellerSummaryKeller was the straw the stirred the NTDP drink all night long. Keller is able to see the ice and impact his teammates with his vision and hockey sense. Skating is quick and shifty, allowing him to change angles and distribute the puck. Quick release on his shot as well. Size will be a question mark at 5’10 and 168 pounds, but has the vision and shiftiness where he could compete with more muscle and same size. Zachary DeVineGreen Bay vs NTDPU18 (USHL)1/30/20161/30/201610035

Clayton KellerSummaryAlmost nothing left to say about Keller that hasn’t been talked about a lot at Hockey Prophets. His vision is elite, his hands extraordinary and his shot above average.

Cole CaufieldSummarySmall, quick player who looks like he is always thinking about putting the puck on the net, too often at the expense of other, better options. More than once he looked up ice from his own zone instead of committing to defense. In the offensive end, he buzzed and worked hard, but made questionable choices, going for the riskier plays instead of the more simple options that used his teammates.

Cole CaufieldSummarySmall player at 5'7 and 155 pounds, and although he seems willing to get scrappy, he mostly uses his high-end speed and agility to avoid contact and maneuver into spaces. Seemed to be fighting the puck a lot in this game, and although he fits in on the line with Hughes and Zegras, he was not generating offense on that line as much as getting opportunities. He has tools, but needs to take the next step in involvement and creation. Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18s vs Chicago (USHL)2/16/20192/20/201910189

Cole EisermanNoteAnother pass that was a great choice poorly executed.Brian FogartyFinland vs US (U18 WJC 2024)4/30/20245/3/202410305
Cole EisermanNoteSkates to a spot, then hip pivots towards the puck. He made a good play with it when it came, but there's a lack of fluidity to his skating and a bullish linear tendancy to his thinking.Brian FogartyFinland vs US (U18 WJC 2024)4/30/20245/3/202410305
Cole EisermanNoteUpright, lots of shoulder swing.Brian FogartyFinland vs US (U18 WJC 2024)4/30/20245/3/202410305
Cole EisermanSummaryHe is a volume shooting goal scorer, and he excels at that, but the rest of his game looked so plodding on most shifts. Mechanical, clunky at times, missed on his passes and didn't have any shine to his game. But he can score.Brian FogartyFinland vs US (U18 WJC 2024)4/30/20245/3/202410305
Cole EisermanNotePlays with his stick blade at shoulder height like he's going to shoot no matter where he is on the ice, including in his own zone. Brian FogartySlovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024)5/4/20245/4/202410306
Cole EisermanNoteThere's what he does best. Hagen's feed is perfect, and Eiserman one-times it short side.Brian FogartySlovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024)5/4/20245/4/202410306
Cole EisermanNoteHe can't solve problems with his feet.Brian FogartySlovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024)5/4/20245/4/202410306
Cole EisermanNoteThe team that drafts him wants his shot and thinks they can coach all the bad out of him. His shot is elite and his scoring drive and instincts are top flight, but so many other problems.Brian FogartySlovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024)5/4/20245/4/202410306
Cole EisermanNoteHe'll hit you if you're trying to move the puck up the boards.Brian FogartySlovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024)5/4/20245/4/202410306
Cole EisermanNoteApparently he'll hit you in open ice, too. He just levelled Straka with a clean shoulder check. Straka was looking at the puck and Eiserman drove his shoulder straight into Straka's chest. The Slovakian was down for a while.Brian FogartySlovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024)5/4/20245/4/202410306
Cole EisermanNoteStraightline speed is better than his short-space acceleration or agility.Brian FogartySlovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024)5/4/20245/4/202410306
Cole EisermanNoteEverything is geared toward setting up his one-timer. But it’s a great one.Brian FogartySlovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024)5/4/20245/4/202410306
Cole EisermanSummaryEiserman showed good physical play, and although his skating and playing style is monochromatic, his shot and shooter's mentality is a desired resource. He will be a project to get his game up to NHL levels, but there is no question that his scoring ability is already thereBrian FogartySlovakia vs US (U18 WJC 2024)5/4/20245/4/202410306

Cole HutsonNoteShifty with the puck on his stick, helped a lot by top-flight agility and smooth puck handling at motion.Brian FogartyUS vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024)5/2/20245/21/202410308
Cole HutsonNoteUnder pressure, overhandles, loses the puck.Brian FogartyUS vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024)5/2/20245/21/202410308
Cole HutsonNoteFight the puck, passes the puck back to a trailer who was well-covered and it’s a breakaway the other direction. Not the best recognition by Hutson.Brian FogartyUS vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024)5/2/20245/21/202410308
Cole HutsonNoteExcellent skating gets him back to cover a potential breakaway, but a smart play by the Swiss attacker draws Hutson into an interference penalty.Brian FogartyUS vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024)5/2/20245/21/202410308
Cole HutsonNoteGoes back to retrieve, and then just kind of floats for a second and allows a Swiss forechecker to swoop in and take the puck. What was he doing?Brian FogartyUS vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024)5/2/20245/21/202410308
Cole HutsonNoteHe's good the puck moving forward, but again a kind of half-hearted attempt with the puck and a turnover.Brian FogartyUS vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024)5/2/20245/21/202410308
Cole HutsonSummaryHe looks like he plays with an arrogance that seems to both help him on the rush and in the offensive zone, but also hurt him at times in the defensive zone. It's almost like he expects to be able to outskate any trouble at any time, and so he isn't working hard from the start. He's talented, no question, but there is some polishing that is needed.Brian FogartyUS vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024)5/2/20245/21/202410308

Cole MacKayNoteTook the wrong route up ice when his defenseman had the puck. MacKay was the head man, but he skated directly away from the puck, giving the puck carrier no passing option.Brian FogartySault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL)12/15/20181/10/201910185
Cole MacKayNoteGreat read on the penalty kill, gets his stick out to pick off a pass, then turns it into a partial breakaway.Brian FogartySault Ste Marie vs Hamilton (OHL)12/15/20181/10/201910185

Cole PerfettiNoteLikes to hover around in the right circle, but his play there is passive, waiting for the puck to find him.Brian FogartySudbury vs Saginaw (OHL)10/26/201912/5/201910200
Cole PerfettiNoteHas the puck pushing through the neutral zone, brings speed into the offensive zone, slides left, misses the net with a wrist shot. This is definitely not his best game of the year.Brian FogartySudbury vs Saginaw (OHL)10/26/201912/5/201910200
Cole PerfettiNoteLove his vision and creativity with the puck. He finds sneaky plays and can make the passes to initiate them.Brian FogartySudbury vs Saginaw (OHL)10/26/201912/5/201910200
Cole PerfettiNoteAnother chance with the puck, snaps a hard wrist shot, but again is clangs off of the boards. Hit the net, man!Brian FogartySudbury vs Saginaw (OHL)10/26/201912/5/201910200
Cole PerfettiSummaryHe shoots and plays hard, he shows a tremendous drive to create offense, and he makes good, fast decisions with the puck. However, in this game, he missed the net often and looked like he was simply trying too hard most of the game. His skating is good or better, but has room for improvement. He's a quality prospect, for sure, but I wasn't thrilled with what I saw in this game. Brian FogartySudbury vs Saginaw (OHL)10/26/201912/5/201910200
Cole PerfettiNotePicks up a puck, gains speed through the neutral zone, tries to work through three opponents as he enters the offensive zone and he loses the puck into the side boards.Brian FogartyWindsor vs Saginaw (OHL)11/23/201912/15/201910205
Cole PerfettiNoteGets a gift puck all alone in the slot, closes, handles and shoots, gets his own rebound on the move, cuts behind the net and scores on the wraparound. Brian FogartyWindsor vs Saginaw (OHL)11/23/201912/15/201910205
Cole PerfettiNoteChanges gears when he needs to, has good control of his skating speed and angles.Brian FogartyWindsor vs Saginaw (OHL)11/23/201912/15/201910205
Cole PerfettiNotePerfetti's hands are all over his stick, choking up, reaching out. Soft, fluid hands that allows him handle and move the puck in tight spaces.Brian FogartyWindsor vs Saginaw (OHL)11/23/201912/15/201910205
Cole PerfettiNoteOn the powerplay, slowly stickhandling though the neutral zone and almost lulls the defenders to sleep. Sharp pass at the blue line and suddenly he's behind the forwards and has the puck back.Brian FogartyWindsor vs Saginaw (OHL)11/23/201912/15/201910205

Cole PerfettiNoteSeems to feel zero pressure when he has the puck, despite the number of opponents bearing down on him.Brian FogartyWindsor vs Saginaw (OHL)11/23/201912/15/201910205
Cole PerfettiSummaryPerfetti is a player who is noticeable on practically every shift. His skating is so smooth and lively, and he plays a smart game in all three zones, but he sparkles when he has the puck, and his team makes sure that the play is always going through him somehow. He is an excellent puck handler who draws opponents to him and makes the smart play, never forcing either a shot or a pass. If he doesn't have a clear option, he can skate his way into one. Even without the puck, he is looking for opportunities. A top prospect, no question.Brian FogartyWindsor vs Saginaw (OHL)11/23/201912/15/201910205
Cole PerfettiNoteTremendous effort on the backcheck, skating all the way back from the offensive goal line.Brian FogartyOHL vs Russia (Cananda-Russia Series 2019)11/7/201912/15/201910206

Colin GrannarySummaryDeserving of the Player of the Game Award, Grannary was a fine mix of skill, tenacity, speed, and desire. Noticed on the ice nearly every shift, created scoring chances offensively for himself and teammates. Needs some help defensively, but forechecking was smart and effective. Zachary DeVineCJHL Top Prospects Game 20161/26/20161/26/201610033

Colton DachNoteQuality skater, but his feet are exceptional when he wants to fire the puck. Uses his edges for snap agility and powers his release.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201
Colton DachNoteAgain using his frame to gain superiority over his rival. Edges and shoulders, stick and strength. He's a tough player to beat in a puck battle.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201
Colton DachNoteLong stride, moves smoothly up ice with the puck.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201

Colton DachNoteA 2021-eligible, 16-year-old Center who is already 6'2, 174 pounds. Kirby is 6'4, 198, so it's likely that Colton gets bigger, too.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201
Colton DachNoteHe goes to the net, is willing to take a hit and absorbs them well, and doesn't lose his cool when others try to agitate.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201
Colton DachSummaryIt's not clear yet that Colton will have the offensive success of his older brother Kirby, but he's an intriguing prospect in his own right. He was always around the play, using his size well, gaining position and getting himself in spots to be effective. He wasn't getting a lot of offensive chances, but he kept trying to create.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201
Colton DachNoteNot watching him, but he's been noticeable in the game. He's developing nicely, it seems, since the last time I watched him.Brian FogartyU18 vs U20 Red (Canada Summer Showcase 2022)7/27/20227/27/202210269
Colton PointSummaryBotiz and Point co-MVP’s for the East, allowing 1 goal on 44 shots and being under siege most of the night. Defensive talent was stacked on the West, East didn’t have much to work with but the goalies did very well. Point has issues with rebounds and some chunky movements, but battles hard. Drops his glove, a bit of Potvin glove position. Zachary DeVineCJHL Top Prospects Game 20161/26/20161/26/201610033

Connor BedardNotePuck along the boards available for a 50/50 battle, but he chose a better play, stepped back around the defender and cut off his only lane of escape, then pinned him to the boards.Brian FogartyPrince Albert vs Regina (WHL)3/12/20213/13/202110226

Connor BedardNoteFollowing the flow of play in his end of the ice, but looking a bit like he's not quite up to speed yet. But when the puck goes the other way he knows exactly what to do.Brian FogartyPrince Albert vs Regina (WHL)3/12/20213/13/202110226
Connor BedardNoteRighthanded shot, drags the puck in and releases a lightning wrister between the defender's legs. Saved, but effective.Brian FogartyPrince Albert vs Regina (WHL)3/12/20213/13/202110226

Connor BedardNoteStrong wrists, lots of heat on his wrist shot. Comes of his stick fast and with deception. Brian FogartyPrince Albert vs Regina (WHL)3/12/20213/13/202110226
Connor BedardNoteStarts in his own end, hits the blue line with speed, dekes a defender, then snaps a shot from the circle that beats the goaltender over his glove for his first WHL goal.Brian FogartyPrince Albert vs Regina (WHL)3/12/20213/13/202110226
Connor BedardNoteSteals a puck along the boards on the left side circle, pulls the puck around a player as he cuts to the slot, and then blows a shot past the goalie. That puck was in the net and the goaltender had barely begun to move.Brian FogartyPrince Albert vs Regina (WHL)3/12/20213/13/202110226
Connor BedardNoteDefinitely a shooter, but he's also a good passer and moves well to make a play.Brian FogartyPrince Albert vs Regina (WHL)3/12/20213/13/202110226
Connor BedardNoteGreat look to pass across the slot to the man cutting to the net, but they just missed the connection.Brian FogartyPrince Albert vs Regina (WHL)3/12/20213/13/202110226
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)3/12/20213/13/202110226
Connor BedardNoteLooks so light and lively on his skates. One of those skaters who looks like he was born with skates on, Brian FogartyRegina vs Winnipeg (WHL)4/3/20214/8/202110227

Connor BedardNoteGenerates a lot of velocity on his shot, power and accuracy with a super-fast release.Brian FogartyRegina vs Winnipeg (WHL)4/3/20214/8/202110227
Connor BedardNoteComes into the zone on the left-wing side, pulls up and passes to the right point to hit a man just entering the zone with speed. Bedard sees the whole ice so well. That wasn't the most obvious option, but it was the best one.Brian FogartyRegina vs Winnipeg (WHL)4/3/20214/8/202110227
Connor BedardNoteRolling puck, bouncing puck, it makes no difference, he'll still get it on net with heat. Brian FogartyRegina vs Winnipeg (WHL)4/3/20214/8/202110227
Connor BedardNoteExcellent look-off pass to the left circle for an assist. Showing shot all the way in, eyes on the net, then a perfect pass for an easy goal with the netminder out high to stop Bedard.Brian FogartyRegina vs Winnipeg (WHL)4/3/20214/8/202110227
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)4/3/20214/8/202110227

Connor BunnamannNoteBunnamann is a big kid. Mixing it up in the corners and is not afraid of anyone. Zachary DeVineLondon vs Kitchner (OHL)3/6/20163/6/201610046
Connor BunnamannNoteBunnamann is a decent skater, but edgework needs attention. Laterally not quick at all, and turns are not sharp. Zachary DeVineLondon vs Kitchner (OHL)3/6/20163/6/201610046
Connor BunnamannNoteLooks a bit soft, a bit more gym time could have him doing better without the extra weight. Zachary DeVineLondon vs Kitchner (OHL)3/6/20163/6/201610046
Connor BunnamannNoteBunnamann played solidly for the Rangers. His skating straight line is good, but edgework and movement in the hips was lacking. For a big man, seemed to lose body position fairly easily even as he was crashing into the corners. Shot was decent as well. Zachary DeVineLondon vs Kitchner (OHL)3/6/20163/6/201610046
Connor DewarNoteDewar gets a shot, passes the puck across the crease, and a dangerous sequence. Zachary DeVine Everett vs Portland (WHL)2/12/20162/12/201610038

Connor DewarNoteDewar still learning the smaller man's game. Trying to hit but hasn’t figured out how to leverage larger players out of the play, but angles are good.Zachary DeVine Everett vs Portland (WHL)2/12/20162/12/201610038
Connor DewarNoteDewar tips two pucks on the PP, one on net. Small and feisty. Zachary DeVine Everett vs Portland (WHL)2/12/20162/12/201610038
Connor DewarNoteDewar with a shorthanded attempt. Like his compete level, and when mixed with his very good skating, has made a number of dangerous plays in the offensive zone.Zachary DeVine Everett vs Portland (WHL)2/12/20162/12/201610038
Connor DewarSummaryDewar played well and was the a noticeable forward for Everett. Not the biggest player at 5’10, he was still active with physical play. Played well in high traffic areas, constantly in front of the net. Would have liked to see him with his stick on the ice a bit more if he is going to play this style of game. Zachary DeVine Everett vs Portland (WHL)2/12/20162/12/201610038
Connor DewarNoteDewar has blocked two big shots. Zachary DeVineVictoria vs Everett (WHL)2/13/20162/13/201610039
Connor DewarNoteDewar with a quick shot on goal on the PP. Zachary DeVineVictoria vs Everett (WHL)2/13/20162/13/201610039
Connor DewarSummaryDewar was a bit more quiet in this game than previous viewings, but was still deployed often and was skating hard. Defensively one of his better games blocking two big shots and harassing the points. Played well away from the puck in a game his team was trailing, which is good to see from a younger player.

Connor DewarSummaryThe 2017 eligible prospect played second line minutes for Everett and his work off the puck was excellent for a 16-year-old. Positionally sound, motor and compete level was suburb bordering on elite. Scored a goal in Game 4 with an impressive shot, one that makes you wonder if he should have shot more in the series/season. Zachary DeVinePortland vs Everett (OHL)3/30/20163/30/201610056
Connor DewarNoteDewar has his motor running a bit too high. Needs to play within himself a bit more. Zachary DeVinePortland vs Everett (OHL)3/26/20163/26/201610054
Connor DewarNoteDewar is getting worked over by any Winterhawk that can get to him. Still working hard. Zachary DeVinePortland vs Everett (OHL)3/26/20163/26/201610054
Connor DewarNoteDewar’s gritty game gets under the Portland player's skin, leads to a good bit of extra stuff and an Everett powerplay. Zachary DeVinePortland vs Everett (OHL)3/26/20163/26/201610054
Connor DewarNoteDewar with a great chance. His work in the dirty areas almost got him a greasy goal. Has a good nose for the net. Zachary DeVinePortland vs Everett (OHL)3/25/20163/25/201610053
Connor DewarNoteDewar with a tenacious shift. Hitting early and moving his feet. Zachary DeVinePortland vs Everett (OHL)3/25/20163/25/201610053
Connor DewarSummaryHigh-motor guy that plays much bigger than his 5’10 listing would suggest. Not afraid of larger players in the corner and has a bit of sand and agitator to his game. Defensively solid for such a young player. Zachary DeVinePortland vs Everett (OHL)3/25/20163/25/201610053

Connor KurthNoteHe has a nice burst and has used it effectively several times this game.Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA)11/26/202312/14/202310292
Connor KurthSummaryHis burst while in motion is his most effective weapon, with a quick change of gear that allows him to take advantage of open spaces. Beyond that, he has a good wrist shot on the move. The rest of his game is above average, but no one other attribute stands out as a big advantage.Brian FogartyMinnesota vs Michigan State (NCAA)11/26/202312/14/202310292

Connor McMichaelNoteScores the game-winning goal on a sharp wrist shot. What I liked was how he seemed to recognize that he had a little space and time, and slowed the game around himself to pick out the right spot to shoot at.Brian FogartyCHL Top Prospects Game 20191/23/20191/24/201910187
Connor McMichaelSummaryMcMichael may not have elite acceleration and top-end speed, but he makes up for it in effort and drive. He does have above average to good mobility, and his mechanics look like he has room to improve, so skating should not be an issue at all. He plays the game hard, constantly pushing into the offensive zone, and is a positive possession player with skill who could develop into a quality middle-six forward at the NHL level.Brian FogartyCHL Top Prospects Game 20191/23/20191/24/201910187
Connor ZaryNoteAn opportunistic player. Solid in his own end, then suddenly he's making something happen. Really good wraparound goal to tie the game in the third period.Brian FogartyCanada vs Sweden (2019 World U-18s)4/27/20195/9/201910193

Conor GarlandNoteTakes an elbow to the back of the head. Gatineau really keying in on him physically.Brent CraswellMoncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL)4/8/20164/8/201610060
Conor GarlandNoteHis game is built on his speed. He easily created distance between himself and opposing forwards trying to track him down. Certainly not afraid to try to be creative in one-on-two or one-on-three situations, but hasn’t been able to break through tonight. Gatineau's early physical play on him pays off throughout the game. It is slightly concerning that he took a few solid hits. Might not have the escapability that small players need to thrive playing in the NHL.Brent CraswellMoncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL)4/8/20164/8/201610060
Conor GarlandNoteConstantly calling for the puck. Not much of a distributor of the puck and his instinct seems to be to shoot first. Hard to believe he had 89 assists in the regular season.Brent CraswellMoncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL)4/8/20164/8/201610060

Conor GarlandNoteIn the defensive zone, gave a token reach for a puck. Looked like he was more interested in creating a breakaway than disrupting the opposing attack, and this allowed the puck carrier to step into the slot for a scoring chance.Brian FogartyMoncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL)4/8/20164/8/201610060
Conor GarlandNoteNot having a good period, at all. Whiffed on an attempt to shoot a moving puck back into the offensive zone instead of making a better, safer play.Brian FogartyMoncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL)4/8/20164/8/201610060
Conor GarlandNoteThat was a bit more of what is expected: a hard-working shift with creativity and vision in the offensive zone.Brian FogartyMoncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL)4/8/20164/8/201610060
Conor GarlandNoteGarland is such a masterful pest. Every time I watch him, he has the opponents chopping, slashing, elbowing him all over the ice. He drives his opponents crazy.Brian FogartyMoncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL)4/8/20164/8/201610060
Conor GarlandSummaryNot Garland's best game, even though he did have moments in which he sparkled. At times, the Gatineau frustration hits seemed to get to him a bit, and at other times he seemed energized by them. Ultra-quick with the puck, but in this game he looked more interested in creating chances than in winning the game.Brian FogartyMoncton vs Gatineau (QMJHL)4/8/20164/8/201610060

Conor GeekieNoteDrives the goal line, slides a puck into the goalie's pads, then gathers the rebound and roofs it backhand from in close. Nice goal.Brian FogartyRegina vs Winnipeg (WHL)4/3/20214/8/202110227
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.

Cross HanasNoteStarts the breakout, heads to the front of the net, then jabs the puck up and into the net off the Fromm-Delorme feed.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Cross HanasNoteSlot side of the circle on the offensive zone faceoff. Puck goes the other way into the corner, and Hanas turns towards the blue after bumping into the defender, then turns around again. Turning his back to the play is not good, but he may have been off balance and forced to do that. Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Cross HanasNotePoor, blind backhand pass off his halfboards easily picked off. Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Cross HanasNoteThrows a nice hip check behind the offensive net.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Cross HanasNoteRidiculous video game deke, toe drag backhand top cheese. That was sick.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Cross HanasSummaryPlaying on the same line as Fromm-Delorme, but didn't look quite as effective. Willing to get physical, above average to good speed. Didn't show off his hands until that nasty dangle off the feed from Fromm-Delorme that was easily the highlight of his game. I'd like to see if he can do more of that, particularly in tighter confines. Looked okay to me, but not a high-end prospect for the 2020 draft at this point.Brian FogartyPortland vs Spokane (WHL)10/25/201912/5/201910203
Cross HanasNoteLooks so solid on the ice, and plays like it, too. Not fast, probably about average speed or just a bit better.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros9/19/20219/22/202110236

Cross HanasNoteVeleno carrying the puck into the offensive zone, and Hanas tries to step across his line, and accidentally bumps him off of the puck. Why?Brian FogartyDetroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros9/19/20219/22/202110236
Cross HanasNoteFighting for a loose puck at the goal mouth, pokes it in. Tough, greasy goal. [Note that on replaying, the puck actually had landed behind the goalie's left pad, and Hanas's jab at it hit the pad as the puck was already edging across the line.Brian FogartyDetroit vs Columbus (2021 Traverse City Pros9/19/20219/22/202110236

Cruz LuciusNoteGathers a long pass at the blue line, drives to the top of the left circle, fakes shot, pulls the puck around the defender to get inside, then a back pass to McGroarty for a beauty chance, blocked.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL)10/9/202110/28/202110243
Cruz LuciusNoteSkating on a diagonal through the neutral zone, pass comes but he misses it, and it's through to the end boards for an icing.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL)10/9/202110/28/202110243
Cruz LuciusNoteShowing off his agility with an excellent spin move off the puck to gain advantageous offensive zone positioning.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL)10/9/202110/28/202110243
Cruz LuciusNoteAt the bumper spot on the powerplay, gets a backhanded chance at a rebound from a Cooley slapshot, and he puts it away. Good, hardnosed, heavy traffic play.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL)10/9/202110/28/202110243
Cruz LuciusSummaryPlays a steady game but he still has some rough edges that need polishing. His skating is okay generally, though he is lacking speed when he pushes up ice. Showed very good hands and good on-ice awareness. I like that he will go hard to the net with and without the puck.Brian FogartyUSNTDP U18s vs Muskegon (USHL)10/9/202110/28/202110243
Curtis HallNoteClean faceoff win. A little sluggish off of his turns, but his first couple of steps look okay.Brian FogartyFinland vs USA (WJSS 2019)8/2/20199/7/201910196

Curtis HallNoteBig strides make him above average to good straight line, but needs a bit more jump. Balance is a little suspect. Battling in front of the net but getting great skate strength and struggling to hold position.Brian FogartyFinland vs USA (WJSS 2019)8/2/20199/7/201910196
Curtis HallNoteBetter shift from him. Had a couple of nice puck moves, but mostly just working hard around the net, then gets a puck and wrists it home from four feet out.Brian FogartyFinland vs USA (WJSS 2019)8/2/20199/7/201910196
Curtis HallSummaryA bit hit or miss in the game, but he has good size and is an okay skater with what looks like a good foundation for improvement. He worked hard, but at times seemed to be chasing the play a bit. Brian FogartyFinland vs USA (WJSS 2019)8/2/20199/7/201910196

Cutter GauthierSummaryUses his size well, and has power in his feet, which he also uses to generate physical power on the boards. His hit of Greene was high and late and unnecessary, though. He showed good hockey iq otherwise, made some smart plays on and off the puck.Brian FogartyUSNTDP vs Green Bay (USHL)3/27/20225/25/202210263
Daemon HuntNoteFirst shift, and everything looks crisp. Pass behind his net was sharp and accurate. Later, a snap pass into the corner to buy time and space.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201
Daemon HuntNoteOn the powerplay, the Warriors have three guys behind the offensive net battling for the puck, and Hunt is low at the side of the net, looking for the puck to pop out.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201
Daemon HuntNoteWatching everything on the ice, his head and eyes are active, and when the puck slips loose he pounces and immediately turns the play back up ice. Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201

Daemon HuntNoteOut to kill the 5-on-3 at the start of the third. Most of the initial kill was spent in his zone, but he did a great job of positioning himself, keeping his stick in lanes, a reacting to the play. Didn't allow a shot on net.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201
Daemon HuntNoteMoving into the high slot, gets a pass from the boards and sends a hard wrist shot clanging off of the boards.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201
Daemon HuntNoteDumps a puck from the red line, then beats two Saskatoon players to the puck in the corner. He holds back on his speed a lot of the time. But when he's not stingy, he shows tremendous pace.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201
Daemon HuntNoteGood clear on the penalty kill. He's adept at getting the puck out of his zone on the kill. Several times in this game he's done that with a cool head.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201
Daemon HuntNoteBig slapper on a puck sliding into his path. He timed that well, blasted it on goal.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201
Daemon HuntSummaryHunt can skate. He's got a strong, solid frame already at 6'0 and 198 pounds, and he is easily Moose Jaws' best defenseman--and with Tracey out of the lineup, likely their best player. He plays all three zones the same: with cool intention and a drive to dominate the game. He needs to work on his shooting accuracy, but he has a good array of shots and gets a lot of power behind them as well. In his zone, he is reliable and calm and seems to care more about getting the puck out of danger than he is getting into the offense. However, once his zone is safe, he jets up the ice and gets involved. Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Saskatoon (WHL)11/17/201912/5/201910201

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 Cup8/7/20219/14/202110234

Damien GirouxNoteTries a long diagonal blue-line-to-blue-line pass, but the puck was skipping when it arrived and the receiver couldn't handle it. Brian FogartyWindsor vs Saginaw (OHL)11/23/201912/15/201910205
Damien GirouxNoteTries a one-timer in close but he didn't get all of it, and although it wasn't simple for the goalie, it was a fairly straightforward save.Brian FogartyWindsor vs Saginaw (OHL)11/23/201912/15/201910205

Damien GirouxNoteIn a good shooting spot, but when he gets the puck, he misses wide. He needed to hit the net there, because he had a lot of rebound help in front.Brian FogartyWindsor vs Saginaw (OHL)11/23/201912/15/201910205
Damien GirouxSummaryThe fifth-round pick of the Minnesota Wild from the 2018 draft is on the small side at 5'10, 185, but he's not afraid to mix it up a bit and get his body into the game. He's a two-year captain for the Spirit, and its easy to see why in the way he plays. He's always working hard, battling for puck possession. He is not a prolific scorer, however, despite his decent stick skills. He missed the net too many times and some of his passes were off target. Skating is above average. At this point, it's hard to call him a projectable NHLer, but he could still make a nice professional career for himself in the AHL with a chance at the NHL if he can push hard on the development curve.Brian FogartyWindsor vs Saginaw (OHL)11/23/201912/15/201910205

Daniel Altshuller NoteAltshuller drops his glove a bit and can slouch when hugging post on one knee. Would like to see him keep a better upright posture. Zachary DeVineCharlotte vs San Jose (AHL)12/29/201512/29/201510019
Daniel Altshuller Note4:30 left and Altshuller with a great reaction left pad save after a deflected shot. Then a sprawl to block the rebound. Great sequence, solid positioning, good reflexes. Zachary DeVineCharlotte vs San Jose (AHL)12/29/201512/29/201510019
Daniel Altshuller NoteA scramble in front of the Checkers net and Altshuller went to poke check the puck but did not keep his body straight and it got chipped over his shoulder. Zachary DeVineCharlotte vs San Jose (AHL)12/29/201512/29/201510019
Daniel Altshuller SummaryDaniel Altshuller is a prospect whose rise from reach pick to solid prospect has been the result of hard work. A number of scouts and writers have taken note of Altshuller in the past few years. After solid numbers in his second ECHL season, was called up to the Checkers and did not look out of place in this viewing. Pro sized at 6’3 and 205 pounds, displayed high end reflexes and puck tracking. There are a few technical issues that need sorting out, but a goalie to keep an eye on as he develops. Zachary DeVineCharlotte vs San Jose (AHL)12/29/201512/29/201510019
Daniel MichaudNoteSpeed is relatively similar to McKinney's. About good level at this point (1.0, or maybe a 60 on the 80-20 scale), but not a lot more at this stage.Brian FogartyKingston vs Oshawa (OHL)1/25/20201/31/202010212
Daniel MichaudNoteHands look hard sometimes when trying to take in crisp passes in they're a little off. He's stopping the puck than receiving it.Brian FogartyKingston vs Oshawa (OHL)1/25/20201/31/202010212
Daniel MichaudNoteTries to force a pass out of his zone and hit a Kingston player with it. He has time, but didn't use it.Brian FogartyKingston vs Oshawa (OHL)1/25/20201/31/202010212

Daniel Muzito-BagendaSummaryFirst time viewing this player, and he was very energetic with good speed and skating ability. Stick handling couldn’t keep up with what the mind was seeing on the ice, but an interesting blend of grit, speed and skill. Seemed to zero in on a play and lose situational awareness often. Zachary DeVineSarnia vs Mississauga (OHL)12/18/201512/19/201510011

Daniel Muzito-BagendaNotePowered his way through the neutral zone, diagonal across the blue line, took the puck along the right-wing boards, powered through a defender and then lost the puck to Chychrun. Bagenda was all alone in the offensive zone and showed good possession and power.Brian FogartySarnia vs Mississauga (OHL)12/18/201512/19/201510011
Daniel Muzito-BagendaNoteGood powerful strides in puck pursuit. I want to see him finish some chances, thoughBrian FogartySarnia vs Mississauga (OHL)12/18/201512/19/201510011
Daniel Muzito-BagendaNoteShows good vision and soft hands with a nice saucer pass to a cutting D for a scoring chanceBrian FogartySarnia vs Mississauga (OHL)12/18/201512/19/201510011
Daniel Muzito-BagendaSummaryPlays the game like a train: solid and heavy with a lot of momentum, but often seems unable to jump off the tracks laid out in front of him. Showed good hands and touch, but never seemed like a real threat to score.Brian FogartySarnia vs Mississauga (OHL)12/18/201512/19/201510011
Daniel NickandrovSummaryNikandrov is a nice player. Showed a few good hands moves, creating offensive chances. Free agent forward that might get a call. Toolsy. Zachary DeVineMississauga vs Peterborough (OHL)3/5/20163/5/201610045

Daniel ZaarNoteZaar to Bjorkstrand nearly makes it 3-0 Zachary DeVineChicago vs Lake Erie (AHL)2/11/20162/11/201610037
Daniel ZaarSummaryA player that I have been high on since his draft year, it is excellent to see Zaar developing as he has, realizing the talent that was seen in him early. He is adjusting fine to North American play and his skating is much improved, but could still use attention. Above average two-way game and a heavy accurate shot matches with a puck handling skills in traffic and under pressure. Still will need time in the AHL, but likely ahead of the curve as far as development. Zachary DeVineChicago vs Lake Erie (AHL)2/11/20162/11/201610037

Daniil UstinkovNoteNice little backhand flip pass.Brian FogartyUS vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024)5/2/20245/21/202410308
Daniil UstinkovSummaryHe looks best when he has the puck, because he is unruffled and able to keep and use possession no matter what the opposition tries. He will need some hard work in his own end, but if he develops properly, he could become a reliable breakout defensemen with powerplay potential in the professional levels.Brian FogartyUS vs Switzerland (U18 WJC 2024)5/2/20245/21/202410308

Danila PalivkoSummaryTall defender who skates remarkably well at this stage of development. Positionally sound, agile and quick, he disrupts plays by out moving the attacking forwards. Makes a good first pass, and shows confidence at the point. A promising prospect for the 2020 NHL draft.Brian FogartySaskatoon vs Lethbridge (WHL)10/6/201810/25/201810180

Danila YurovNoteFollows Chibrikov in, and when the rebound gets kicked out to the left dot, Yurov is there and one-times it near post and in. Hit the defender's skate, but well-timed and aggressive offensive play.Brian FogartyRussia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022)11/27/202111/29/202110252
Danila YurovNoteExtended time when he was matched up against Henry for Switzerland. Yurov was bigger, faster, stronger.Brian FogartyRussia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022)11/27/202111/29/202110252
Danila YurovNoteMakes good choices in the offensive zone, safe, short passes to maintain possession and apply continuous pressure on the defenders.Brian FogartyRussia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022)11/27/202111/29/202110252
Danila YurovNoteWilling to play right at the crease, cruising the low slot area, digging in and battling at the front of the net.Brian FogartyRussia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022)11/27/202111/29/202110252
Danila YurovNoteAccelerates to a loose puck, then backhands across the top of the crease. Should have resulted in a goal. Excellent play from Yurov.Brian FogartyRussia vs Switzerland (WJC 2022)11/27/202111/29/202110252
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)3/23/20234/7/202310279
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)3/23/20234/7/202310279

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)3/23/20234/7/202310279
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)3/23/20234/7/202310279
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)3/23/20234/7/202310279
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)3/23/20234/7/202310279
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)3/23/20234/7/202310279
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)3/23/20234/7/202310279

Danny ZhilkenNoteSkating looks suspect. Lots of shoulder swing side to side, below average speed, at least on that opening shift.Brian FogartyGuelph vs London (OHL)11/9/202111/21/202110248
Danny ZhilkenNoteHis turns and stops are good, just that his straightline skating needs help. Achievable though, I think.Brian FogartyGuelph vs London (OHL)11/9/202111/21/202110248

Dans LocmelisSummaryThere are things to like in Locmelis's game, such as his high scoring drive, offensive skills and good acceleration, but too often he put himself out of position, lacked general awareness, and suffered from a sort of disorganized play.Brian FogartyLatvia vs Canada (WC 2023)5/27/20235/27/202310283

Dante FabbroSummaryExcellent two-way defender with skills and hands but also an understanding of his defensive responsibilities. Remained poised under forecheck pressure. Talented with the puck and excellent puck handling skills, but was too cute with the puck at times. Zachary DeVineCJHL Top Prospects Game 20161/26/20161/26/201610033
Dante FabbroSummaryIn a bad showing for Team Canada, Fabbro was a single bright spot on defense. Coming from the BCHL, there were questions about the level of competition he was against, but after the U18s and NJEC, it is put to rest. A lock for the WJC roster.

Darien KielbNotePlaying the point on the powerplay. Moves the puck okay enough, but nothing looks sharp about his game, and his inability to get back fast enough to prevent shorthanded chances makes him a liability back there.Brian FogartyVal-D'Or vs Quebec1/10/20201/15/202010211
Darien KielbNoteThis time, instead of giving up yet another clean shorthanded breakaway, he actually just dove and tackled the charging forward before he could get to the puck. Yikes.Brian FogartyVal-D'Or vs Quebec1/10/20201/15/202010211
Dario MeyerNoteDario Meyer with a goal, WHL presentative. A bit of a lucky goal, but the Swiss are making their own luck. Swiss are outworking Canada noticeably. Zachary DeVineSwitzerland vs. Canada (WJC 2016)12/29/201512/29/201510021

David AdaszynskiNoteChases down a puck, collects in the offensive zone right circle, pulls up, passes to the trailer, but way too hard and the puck clangs off the attackers stick.Brian FogartyRegina vs Calgary (WHL)2/27/20223/1/202210256
David AdaszynskiNoteSolid hit on the boards on the forecheck.Brian FogartyRegina vs Calgary (WHL)2/27/20223/1/202210256
David AdaszynskiSummaryPlays a tough game with good skating and energy. Did not generate a lot of offense in this game, and held his stick tight in his hands. He made some good passes, but in general put too much on them and was too deliberate in finding them. Will need to soften up his offensive game a good bit over the next year.Brian FogartyRegina vs Calgary (WHL)2/27/20223/1/202210256
David BernhardtSummaryBernhardt's skating was an area of real concern. Not a lot of power is generated and defensively his edge work and overall foot work need help. When he kept his game simple, he had a higher chance of success. Not an overly flashy player. Zachary DeVineNJEC 2016 - NJEC8/2/20168/2/201610076

David GoyetteNoteActive stick pokes the puck off the attacker's blade just inside the defensive blue line. Then Goyette pushes hard through the neutral zone to create a three-on-one, slows at the top of the circle keeping the goaltender honest, then fires a deceptive pass far post, but Derbidge can't convert.Brian FogartyBarrie vs Sudbury (OHL)10/28/202111/8/202110245

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. He showed the kind of awareness that allowed him to make fast reads and passes to set up teammates for easy scoring chances. He's a clever player with a bright future.Brian FogartyBarrie vs Sudbury (OHL)10/28/202111/8/202110245

David JiricekNoteAnd there's the knee injury I knew was coming. Stepping up to hit Guhle, leg-on-leg contact, and Jiricek's knee takes the worst of it. Too bad.Brian FogartyCzechia vs Canada (WJC 2022)12/26/20215/12/202210261
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)12/26/20215/12/202210261
David LiljaNoteIn the slot on the powerplay, takes a nice pass, tries to redirect but hits the shins of the defender, but he grabs the rebound and snaps it past the netminder. Quick, accurate hands.Brian FogartySweden vs US (U18s 2018)4/22/2018Not Available10170

David LiljaSummaryPuts in a lot of effort on every shift, plays the game in the high-contact areas and looks comfortable there.

David ReinbacherNoteTries to clear, whiffs on the puck, turns it over That's the first clear mistake I've seen him make this game.Brian FogartyGermany vs Austria (2023 WJCs)12/30/20224/12/202310281

David ReinbacherNoteGerman attackers are reversing the puck just to avoid having to take on Reinbacher.Brian FogartyGermany vs Austria (2023 WJCs)12/30/20224/12/202310281
David ReinbacherSummaryProbably the best all-around defenseman in the draft class. Maybe not the high offensive ceiling that someone like Dragicevic shows, but he's big, strong, fast and smart and just a killer in his own end. He will be a first-round pick and a future NHL defender that teams won't like playing against.Brian FogartyGermany vs Austria (2023 WJCs)12/30/20224/12/202310281

Davis BurnsideSummaryLooked more quick than fast, but there's some promise to his play, despite the low quality of this game in general. Brian FogartyGreen Bay vs Des Moines (USHL)9/24/20219/29/202110237
Davis CoddNoteFast, good technique and stride power.Brian FogartyWindsor vs Saginaw (OHL)11/23/201912/15/201910205

Davis CoddSummaryBarely sixteen years old (born August 2003), Codd is a fast, dynamic skater who brings energy and a good amount of puck skills to the ice.

His hard work and high level of competitiveness will help him going forward.Brian FogartyWindsor vs Saginaw (OHL)11/23/201912/15/201910205

Dawson BarteauxNoteSurprisingly good speed. Doesn't look fast but then he's winning all the puck chases.Brian FogartyMoose Jaw vs Red Deer (WHL)1/3/20181/23/201810161

Dawson McKinneyNoteStellar read and a backwards, no-look, between-the-legs feed to Wright for the goal. That was an instant situational read. He never saw Wright but knew where he was. Great awareness of where the play was and where Wright was going to be.Brian FogartyKingston vs Oshawa (OHL)1/25/20201/31/202010212
Dawson McKinneyNoteGood extension mechanics, but he's more bent over than getting good deep knee bend and centered balance. He can get more power from his sound mechanical stride. Just a little work and he'll improve on his already above average speed.Brian FogartyKingston vs Oshawa (OHL)1/25/20201/31/202010212
Dawson McKinneyNoteSlower that the puck carrier, losing ground as he chases through the neutral zone, looking a good stride or two off the pace.Brian FogartyKingston vs Oshawa (OHL)1/25/20201/31/202010212

Dawson MercerNotePK faceoff in his own zone, pucks goes to the point and Mercer uses his quickness to get out and pressure McIsaac, creating the turnover, then he's gone like a flash for a clean breakaway that Gravel saved with a good effort. Nice play by Mercer, using speed and effort to create a high-end chance shorthanded.Brian FogartyDrummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL)11/25/201811/26/201810182
Dawson MercerNoteHis speed is a weapon. Creates another turnover and hustles the puck towards the net before his feet are swept out from beneath him. He needs only one step and he separates from everyone.Brian FogartyDrummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL)11/25/201811/26/201810182
Dawson MercerNoteTakes a hit to make sure he can chop the puck out of his zone to break up some sustained pressure from Halifax. His team is up 5-1, but he made the difficult play.Brian FogartyDrummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL)11/25/201811/26/201810182
Dawson MercerNoteOnce again, his speed gets him a near breakaway and he draws a penalty. No one on Halifax can match his pace.Brian FogartyDrummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL)11/25/201811/26/201810182
Dawson MercerSummaryLiked his game a lot. Constant pressure at both ends, exceedingly fast, darting and over distance. More importantly, he utilizes his speed to its full effect, causing major problems for the other team. He is 6'0 and 172 pounds, over a point per game so far this season, and he's in his draft-minus-one year as a 2020 draft-eligible player. One to watch, for sure.Brian FogartyDrummondville vs Halifax (QMJHL)11/25/201811/26/201810182

Dawson MercerNoteFantastic display of puck handling. Uses the toe to stop the puck, pulls into his feet to avoid the poke check, then turns and shoots. Brian FogartyChicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL)10/19/20196/28/202010222
Dawson MercerNoteHard slapper while gliding backwards, a one-timer from the left circle. Rocket.Brian FogartyChicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL)10/19/20196/28/202010222
Dawson MercerNoteHands are active on the stick, loose and confident puckhandler.Brian FogartyChicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL)10/19/20196/28/202010222
Dawson MercerNoteIntercepts a pass in the neutral zone, drives the left wing, around the original passer, then cuts to hard to the net along the bottom of the circle and dishes to the player with a better shooting angle.Brian FogartyChicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL)10/19/20196/28/202010222
Dawson MercerNoteWith the Chicoutimi goalie behind the net with the puck, Mercer swoops in, takes it cleanly away from him, and goes straight into a wraparound for an easy but stunning goal.Brian FogartyChicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL)10/19/20196/28/202010222
Dawson MercerNoteHands and vision are so great. In a board scrum, he still manages to see the open man and pick the puck out of the pile and swiftly backhand a pass to him before anyone can stop it. Sick stuff.Brian FogartyChicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL)10/19/20196/28/202010222
Dawson MercerNoteHands are so crafty the opposing defense and goalie have a difficult time reading shot or pass. Either can come off of his stick in an instant.Brian FogartyChicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL)10/19/20196/28/202010222
Dawson MercerNoteLoose puck, he collects and takes off. Lapierre tries to match him, but Mercer gains a step, and Lapierre hooks him to prevent a possible breakaway.Brian FogartyChicoutimi vs Drummondville (QMJHL)10/19/20196/28/202010222
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)10/19/20196/28/202010222
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)10/19/20196/28/202010222
