#67 Matt Filipe

#76 on our draft list.

Filipe is a strong skater, with good size. He projects as a power forward at the next level. He has very good speed, agility and acceleration; especially for a big man. Filipe is not afraid to get involved physically, and does so in all three zones. He battles hard along the boards, and works hard to establish position in front of the net. Filipe uses his soft hands to finish plays in close. He quickly pounces on rebounds, and has the hand-eye co-ordination to tip in-shots. He could improve his vision and passing skills, and as a result likely projects as a winger going forward. Filipe also has a well-developed defensive game, showing good positioning defensively.
