I subscribe to a couple of scouting publications and get a the magazines
If we are all going to hate the pick I think we need to be able to know a bit about the guy we got. I'm a bit off on this because I absolutely loved this guy and thought he would get into first round late but 15??? but....I like him so if he is as good as I think it shouldn't matter. Bottom line to me he plays like I want Bruins wingers to play
Here is Red Line and the Hockey News (I'll get ISS up when I go back to work my bud has it there- although he belongs here so he can put it up if he wants)
RED LINE
Wow! This kid has a fabulous package of tools to work from, and just got better and better seemingly every game throughout the season. Good size and skill with a lightening quick release. Shows tremendous speed in open ice and eats up ground with a powerful stride. Gets in on defenders so quickly on the forecheck and intimidates with his pounding physical presence. Plays along the walls with power and is very tough to move from the front of the net. Goes hard into the corners and outworks and outmuscles his opponent. Comes back on the back check as he goes up the ice. Has good puck skills to compliment his physical game. Versatile and can contribute in any role, on any line, and on both special teams. He has the makings of a strong power forward with speed.
PROJECTION: Big, Fast, aggressive second line scoring wing.
STYLE COMPARES to: Brandon Saad
