Positive comments from Jason Bukala, scout that provides analysis for Sportsnet in Canada, regarding 4th Round Pick Beckett Hendrickson. He (and other analyst) were asked to choose a favourite player/best pick from each round (2 and lower). Hendrickson was Bukala's fav pick from Round 4.
Bukala: Beckett Hendrickson, Boston Bruins, 124th overall
Hendrickson played a depth role at the USNTDP. The team was top heavy with forwards that included Will Smith, Gabe Perreault, Ryan Leonard and Oliver Moore — and there’s only one puck. Sometimes there isn’t enough situational opportunity to go around. Hendrickson could have easily played higher up in the lineup, though. He skates well, has understated offensive upside, and contributes reliable detail defensively. He doesn’t cheat the game. He plays the right way. He’s a solid add for the Bruins in the fourth round.
