Kyle Woodlief from Red Line Report's summary of McLeod:
12. New Jersey Devils - C Michael McLeod. The big, swift skating center that every team covets. Defensively responsible center has an impressive blend of size, outstanding skating ability, and hockey IQ. Has dominant speed, agility and quickness to easily beat defenders off the rush. Outstanding east-west lateral movement; very clean edging. A precision passer who will hold onto the puck that extra second to make the right play. His hockey sense and playmaking ability are top-notch, and he sees the ice very well. But his shot is weak and he’s a crest shooter who lacks a finishing touch. Tenacious on the forecheck and plays an effective three-zone game with his ability to change direction rapidly and read the developing play. Very strong on draws. A complete player and safe bet to play in the NHL for years with his speed and all-around game.
