The guys' on the NHL Network compared him to Corey Perry . . HAH. Kings select a Goalie Crasher?

I like his HF talent analysis.

If he reaches his potential, Toffoli should be one of the better offensive prospects from his draft class.

 

[AKAY47]

Man, I absolutely love this pick hahahaha YESSS

 

[Reaper45]

For those who've seen him, who's he comparable to?

 

[JBernierFan]

With his point numbers and the videos. Seems like he can score and fight! awesome!

 

[Dave33]

I hate this pick:

his favorite book is twilight

For those who've seen him, who's he comparable to?

The scouting video says Tim Connoly or Steven Weiss.

He may have hands but this kid CAN NOT skate......

Yeah, I was laughing a bit watching the video of him skate.

 

[KingsCourt]

i like!

some mocks had this kid as high as 24...not a good skater thou.

He may have hands but this kid CAN NOT skate......

Yet he kept up with a couple of fast linemates in Seguin and McFarland. As long as he can get from point A to point B and hold is ground along the boards, in front of the net, fight for pucks and set himself up in a position to score, speed isn't going to matter much. Make up for speed by setting him up with fast linemates, as he was lined up with for the Canadian junior team.

Neither could Luc. Not saying he's the next Luc, but don't knock the kid because of his skating.

 

[ean]

I like this. Looks like he could be a really good 3rd liner.

 

[haelwho]

For those who've seen him, who's he comparable to?

I've always thought of him as a less-gifted Tavares with a little more grit. From watching his draft profiles, he seems like a good locker room guy, in the Matt Greene mold.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Game highlight from Ottawa 67's vs. Peterborough Petes game from March. Toffoli scores a hat trick:


Toffoli scoring vs. Brampton:


A Dustin Brown like rush:


Gives you an idea of his fast hands and quick release.

They said the same thing about Bobby Ryan...

 

[Vaclav Varada]

Toffoli just has an ugly stride. He can get up and down the ice no problem.

He is a prototypical sniper. His hockey IQ is insane, the puck seems to follow him around the ice.

If you look at his stats keep in mind he had something like only 5 points in his first 20 games. That is a hell of a scoring pace for the rest of the season.

 

[Lead Role in a Cage]

8 points (3+5) in 4 games during the Ivan Hlinka memorial tournament last August.

Saw him as he was leaving (to get food?) and a line formed to get autographs. One girl handed him a guitar to sign. He looked happy to be a star for ten minutes.
