| Jake DeBrusk |  | LW | 27 | 3 of 3 | 84
L3
| 2-way forward who, at times, appears capable of producing more offense than his yearly stats display. Good pace. Has some bump to his game. Willing to push back along the wall and around the crease. Hockey sense to be deployed in all situations. Best described as an above average 2-way forward who provides better than secondary offense. At times streaky offensively. 80GP - 19G - 21A (+4) Averaged 17:00 TOI - Deployed in all situations. 183 shots on goal 108 hits - 48 shot blocks Expiring contract that counted $4.0M against the cap in 23/24 | May 2, 2024 | May 4, 2024 |
| Jeremy Swayman | | G | 25 | 4 of 4 | 90
1B
| Swayman continues to platoon with Ullmark in Boston - BUT - heading into series versus Toronto in first round of 2024 playoffs he has a save percentage north of .950 and GAA below 1.40 versus the Leafs. He could be the goalie of choice in versus the Leafs. Boston has a very structured penalty killing unit. They ended the regular season with one of the top units in the entire league - killing off an average of 82.5% when a man short. Swayman's last ten game segment produced .904 save percentage - 2.50 GAA He faced, on average, 26.1 shots on goal per game. Good size. Athletic. Quick pads. Competes to make second saves. Engaged. Reliable. | Apr. 16, 2024 | Apr. 19, 2024 |
| Drew Bavaro | | RD | 23 | 1 of 1 | A-
ML
| Bavaro has signed a one-year entry level contract with the Boston Bruins. He's a big, right-shot, defenceman who was used in all situations at the college level with Notre Dame. In 35GP (23/24 season) he produced 10G-10A. It was a breakout year for him offensively. He logged over 20 minutes per game. Bavaro handles the puck well. He distributes responsibly, and joins the rush as an extra layer offensively on occasion. Defensively he displays sound 'spatial awareness'. In order to find a role at the NHL level he will have to react / jump to space quicker on the perimeter to kill plays - especially on the PK. Leans 2-way 'D' who has the size, sense, and compete for an NHL bottom pairing / recall role in time. | Mar. 9, 2024 | Mar. 23, 2024 |
| David Pastrnak | | RW | 27 | 2 of 2 | 89
FP
| By far the most dangerous offensive player on the Bruins Exceptionally dangerous on the PP Elite shooter - creative in the offensive zone - quick catch and release - doesn't require a lot of time or space to direct pucks on net Threat off the rush - plenty fast in transition As of March 16th - 68GP - 41G - 54A - 95pts (+21) In his most recent ten game segment - 5G-8A - 13pts (E) Averaging 19:20 TOI Defensive detail can range at times | Mar. 14, 2024 | Mar. 16, 2024 |
| Andrew Peeke | | RD | 25 | 4 of 4 | 69
P3
| Peeke is a coveted 'right-shot' defenceman who fell out of favor with the Columbus Blue Jackets organization before being dealt to the Bruins - Trade Deadline 2024 2-way 'D' who chips in with some secondary offense With CBJ he only played 23 games in 23/24 - averaged 15:36 TOI - 14:04 ES - 1:32 PK Produced 1G - 7A Credited with 44 hits and 47 shot blocks Projects to be used in a bottom pairing / spot duty middle pairing role with the Bruins | Mar. 7, 2024 | Mar. 9, 2024 |
| Andrew Peeke | | RD | 25 | 3 of 4 | 69
P3
| One of the most obvious Blue Jacket players who looks like, both he and the team, could benefit from a change of scenery. In his most recent 10 game segment (January-February 2024) he averaged between 11:00 - 19:00 TOI. His primary ice time comes at even strength and the penalty kill. Good size and range. Gets in the shooting lane to block shots and has some physical push back. Limited offensively. Third pairing 'D'. Credited with 2 assists - 16 hits - 20 shot blocks in the segment. Overall, only 20GP on the season - average TOI 15:40 - and a (-4) defensively. Signed through 25/26 season. Cap hit $2.75M. 2-way / Leaning defensive 'D'. | Feb. 20, 2024 | Feb. 23, 2024 |
| Andrew Peeke | | RD | 25 | 2 of 4 | 69
P3
| Has only played twenty games - as of the All-star break - for the Blue Jackets. When he does dress, he averages around 15:00 TOI - deployed at ES and PK Big body. Rangy. Blocks shots. Closes his gaps. Willing to push back / play with some jam. Doesn't bring much offensively. Overall detail ranges some nights. His contain game / read and react can be somewhat unpredictable. Having a tough time finding a role in CBJ this year. Fresh start might do him some good. Signed through 25/26 season - $2.75M AAV | Jan. 28, 2024 | Feb. 6, 2024 |
| Patrick Maroon | | LW | 35 | 1 of 1 | 71
L4
| Veteran fourth line winger who plays a heavy / power style Averages around 13:00 TOI - deployed at even strength and second unit power-play Best work comes from the hash marks down in the offensive zone and working off the cycle Difficult to defend net front in the offensive zone. Good mitts. Extends plays. Through his first 49GP - he scored 4G-12A - secondary scorer who does the majority of his scoring at even strength - only one assist on the PP Pace is barely adequate for speed of NHL game. Tracking back / late offensive zone exits can be a challenge. Expiring contract that carries an $800K AAV - carries a 16 team no trade list | Jan. 27, 2024 | Feb. 6, 2024 |
| Linus Ullmark | | G | 30 | 3 of 3 | 84
1A
| Suffered a lower body injury in his 21st game of the year (20th start) vs Arizona At the time he had posted a .915 save percentage and 2.75 GAA His save percentage was top five for goalies with over twenty starts. Big body. Not overly active. Allows the puck to come to him. Plays between his posts. Fronts the play. Squares up. Sits tall in his butterfly. Hard to beat in tight due to stature. Less = more. Not the kind of goaltender that is at his best when scrambling to make stops. | Jan. 11, 2024 | Jan. 13, 2024 |
| Jeremy Swayman | | G | 25 | 3 of 4 | 83
1B
| Swayman generally splits the net with partner Linus Ullmark. Through his first 22GP, Swayman posted .920 save percentage and 2.47GAA His save percentage is top five for goalies who have played more than twenty games. Good size. Athletic. Quick feet. Good gloves. At times active in his crease, but his athletic ability takes over and allows him to recover effectively. Read / React is sound. Strong focus. Always in the game. Trending #1A in time. | Jan. 11, 2024 | Jan. 13, 2024 |
| Andrew Peeke | | RD | 25 | 1 of 4 | 69
P3
| Has struggled to find a slot in the CBJ lineup. '2-way / Leaning Defensive D' At this stage he's an in / out 7D / 6D for the Blue Jackets Good size. Right shot. Moves well. Adequate puck mover. Not flash to his game offensively. Bodies up. Willing to close on opponents and block shots. Comes down to timing his reads and reacting accordingly. There are nights his routes are off and he struggles to defend the middle of his zone consistently. Change of scenery might be good for the player and organization. Signed through 25/26 AAV $2.75M | Jan. 2, 2024 | Jan. 7, 2024 |
| Matthew Poitras | | C | 19 | 4 of 4 | B+
L2
| Poitras has settled in nicely at the NHL level. Averaging around 14:00 TOI Deployed at ES and PP He doesn't PK. 200ft game has been sound. Tracks up and down the ice responsibly. Identifies responsibility off the puck. Element is offense. Leans distributor more than shooter. Doesn't play a heavy game in the trenches / along the wall / out front the net Values time and space. Excellent vision. Pace is no issue for the speed of NHL game. | Dec. 29, 2023 | Dec. 31, 2023 |
| Linus Ullmark | | G | 30 | 2 of 3 | 85
1A
| Off to another strong start in 23/24 Splitting time with Swayman Through his first seven starts he has posted a 2.26 GAA and .926 save % Continues to play 'big in the net' No unnecessary movement. Good feet / but doesn't possess outstanding agility. Relies heavily on making first saves, and directing pucks out of danger or limiting second chances. Not a great scrambler. Composed. Focused. Dialed in. Monitor his fatigue factor as the season rolls along. Is he capable of more than 50% of the games? | Nov. 9, 2023 | Nov. 11, 2023 |
| Jeremy Swayman | | G | 24 | 2 of 4 | 82
1B
| His game appears to be trending towards #1A starter ... but ... the Bruins are fortunate that they can play both their goalies and trust their game and results. Swayman, predictably, is splitting time with Linus Ullmark to start the season. In his first 6 starts he has a 6-0 record, a 1.49 GAA - .952 save % - and one shutout Swayman continues to play with sound crease composure and rarely gets too active in his crease. One of his biggest strengths is his read / react game and the fact he plays between his post - which makes him big in the net. On pace for 41 games ... trending like a goalie who could play 55 (+) if required. Boston plays a structured team game, but having a steady, composed, netminder like Swayman makes everyone better defensively. | Nov. 9, 2023 | Nov. 11, 2023 |
| Jackson Edward | | LD | 19 | 3 of 3 | A-
P3
| Recently signed by the Bruins to his entry-level contract. 7th round pick in 2022 (200th overall) His added more strength to his frame. Projects as a '2-way D' / ES / PK as a pro. Solid skater. Better than average puck skill. Provides second layer of scoring at the OHL level with the London Knights. Majority of his TOI comes at ES and PK. Some PP. Competes and pushes back physically. Opponents need to be aware of Jackson closing the gap in the neutral or finishing his checks down low in his zone. Understated edge to his game. | Oct. 27, 2023 | Oct. 31, 2023 |
| Linus Ullmark | | G | 30 | 1 of 3 | 86
1A
| Vezina trophy winner in (22/23) Has clearly taken his game to another level. Big in the net. Butterfly / Positional style. Not the most athletic goalie in the NHL. Relies on tracking and squaring up to the play. Secondary stop / scramble ability is average. Monitor if he is capable of playing more than 55 games and making necessary big saves down the stretch and into playoffs. | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 |
| Jeremy Swayman | | G | 24 | 1 of 4 | 82
1B
| A #1B / Leaning #1A in time Still young by NHL goalie standards Good size. Plays a compact, butterfly style. Relies heavily on sound crease composure. Plays between his posts. Rarely wanders or scrambles. Rebound control can range at times but he has strong lateral push and the flexibility to make saves moving side to side. Focused. Trustworthy. No discernable weaknesses. Capable of playing more games. | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 |
| Jakub Lauko | | C | 23 | 1 of 1 | 64
RL
| Depth player at the NHL level Secondary scorer in the AHL Doesn't possess an elite element. Average plus skater. Average skill for NHL. Very little bump to his game. Leans 13F more than regular Averages less than 9:00 TOI. All of his ice time comes at ES | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 |
| David Pastrnak | | RW | 27 | 1 of 2 | 87
FP
| Elite offensive talent Massive threat to produce offense on the PP. In (22/23) he scored 18G-19A with the man advantage Logs around 20:00 TOI - depending on in game scenarios. All of his TOI comes at ES and PP. Rips pucks, from the weak side on the PP. Creative. Thinks the game at a level that cannot be coached. There are nights his detail could be better defensively but his offense wins out Franchise player. Infectious personality. Part of the leadership group. | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 |
| Jake DeBrusk | | LW | 26 | 2 of 3 | 82
L3
| Streaky forward who produces offense in bunches. Strong skater. Can be a threat off the rush or disrupt plays up ice as F1 on the forecheck. Not overly physical. Has some bump, but at his best when tenacious along the boards trying to win pucks back / extend plays. Leans shooter more than distributor. Used in all situations. In between 3F and 2F depending on consistency throughout the year. | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 |
| Charlie McAvoy | | RD | 25 | 1 of 1 | 92
P1
| One of the top defenders in the entire NHL. Complete player. Logs between 23:00 - 25:00 TOI. Used in all situations. Takes on the task of matching up against top lines. Pushes back and blocks shots. Trusted to start in all three zones. Better than secondary offense. Leans distributor but capable of beating NHL goalies from range. Competes. Cares. Part of leadership group. A top pairing 'D' on any team in the league. | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 |
| Brad Marchand | | C | 35 | 1 of 1 | 85
L2
| Entering the twilight of an excellent career. Undersize pest who continues to get under the skin of opponents. Averaging 18:41 TOI to start the (23/24) season. Continues to be deployed in all situations. Play driver. Momentum changer. Brings offense, tenacity and (at times) border line discipline. Remains easily defined and continues to make an impact. A 2F / 1F | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 |
| Matthew Poitras | | C | 19 | 3 of 4 | 76
L2
| Young, developing, skill forward with junior eligibility Earned a roster spot with the Bruins after a superb training camp in (23/24) Excellent skater. Fantastic vision and puck touch. Leans play maker more than shooter. Can be dangerous on the PP. Has the ability to almost QB a PP unit from the half wall / rotating up top in the zone. Makes plays through seems. Has to be respected off the rush. Defensive detail ranges at times but he has improved his three zone game a great deal over the last year of his development. Leans 2F. The kind of player who needs to find a home in the top of the lineup and given opportunity to play to his identity. | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 |
| Matt Grzelcyk | | LD | 29 | 1 of 1 | 79
P3
| A valuable depth defender who logs around 17:00 TOI at ES and PK. More of a role on the PK to start (23/24) Incredible (+46) last season Provides better than secondary scoring, considering all of his offense comes at ES / not the PP Undersize. Quick to space. Relies on jumping to pucks ahead of opponents and proper defensive positioning. Capable puck mover. Brings good value for his role. | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 |
| Morgan Geekie | | C | 25 | 1 of 1 | 74
L3
| Signed in the off-season by the Bruins after not being qualified by Seattle. Tall. Somewhat lean. Rangy. Long reach. Better than average puck touch. Sees the ice. Can make plays when time and space is available. Solid in the face-off circle on his strong side. Willing to battle to extend plays in the hard areas. Can be a net front presence on the PP. Skating holds him back from more impact. Not a burner. When challenged by a quicker opponent he has a difficult time escaping pressure with his feet. 2-way forward who leans 3F / 4F. Has skill to provide second layer of scoring. | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 |
| Derek Forbort | | LD | 31 | 1 of 1 | 76
P3
| Second or third pairing 'D' who averages over 17:00 TOI at ES and PK. Matches up against middle-six opponents. Big body. Long. Rangy. Willing to engage physically. Capable skater. Not a burner or a transition threat. Takes what is given when looking to outlet pucks. Generally low risk. 2-way / leaning 'Defensive D' There are nights he has some difficulties defending against quick/fast opponents off the rush and down low / slipping off his check. | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 |
| Hampus Lindholm | | LD | 29 | 2 of 2 | 87
P1
| Career year, offensively, in (22/23) Playing in Boston agrees with his game. Logs over 23:00 TOI. Deployed in all situations. Leads the PP breakout. Heavy lifting defensively. Matches up against top nine opponents every shift. Leans distributor more than shooter. Big body. Some bump to his game but not punishing. More in the way and hard to make plays around. Gets in the lane to block shots. Complete player. Great contract for his role. | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 |
| Brandon Carlo | | RD | 26 | 1 of 1 | 80
P2
| Middle pairing 'D' who does a lot of heavy lifting for the Bruins. Matches up against top opponents. Averaging over 19:00 TOI to start (23/24). All of his TOI is absorbed at ES and PK. One of the first players over the boards on the PK. Big body. Long reach. Has some bump to his game physically. Blocks shots. Capable, not elite, with the puck on his stick. Not a candidate for a regular role on the PP, but could clean up at the tail end if tasked. Provides some depth / secondary scoring at ES. A valuable - right shot - 2-way 'D' | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 |
| James van Riemsdyk | | LW | 34 | 2 of 2 | 72
L3
| Veteran goal scorer who is nearing the end of his career. Big body. Not physical. In the way more than punishing. Uses long reach to his advantage along the boards and around the net in the offensive zone. A 4F at even strength more than a 3F - but remains an impact player on the PP. Pace is barely adequate for the speed of today's NHL game. Not a transition threat. Defensive detail ranges depending on how long he is tasked with small areas defending in his zone / quickness becomes a factor defending in space. | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 |
| John Beecher | | C | 22 | 4 of 4 | 76
L4
| Still developing depth forward who is deployed at ES and PK. Averaging just over 11:00 TOI to start (23/24) season. Plays the game quick and fast. Can disrupt opponents breaking out pucks as F1 on the forecheck. Doesn't project to provide much offense at the NHL level. Handles are average. Offense comes off hard work and determination more than natural skill. Depth checker with some bump to his game. | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 |
| Pavel Zacha | | C | 26 | 2 of 2 | 84
L2
| Elevated role in Boston to start the (23/24) season. A 2F who will slot into 1F this season due to retirements of Krecji and Bergeron. To start the season he is being used in all situations, averaging 17:45 TOI. Coming off a season in (22/23) that he provided a second layer of offense. Brings combination of size, skill and solid pace. Can push the play through the neutral zone and make plays off the rush. Considering his role on the PK it's important for him to win face-offs in the defensive zone and use his long reach / big frame to get in shooting lanes to disrupt the play / block shots. | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 |
| Milan Lucic | | LW | 35 | 1 of 1 | 68
L4
| Veteran power forward who is on the back nine of his career. Role player. Averaging 11:52 TOI to start the (23/24) season for the Bruins. All of his ice time is coming at ES. Physical. Finishes all of his checks. Keeps opponents honest. Willing to drop the mitts if required. Not much of a threat to produce offense. Average pace and skill for today's NHL game. | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 |
| Charlie Coyle | | C | 31 | 1 of 1 | 80
L3
| Valuable player who contributes in a middle-six role. Averaging 16:46 TOI to begin the (23/24) season. Most of his ice time comes at ES and PK. Capable of contributing on the PP if required - especially around the crease and below the goal line extending plays. Big body. Moves well. Quick to space. Long reach. Has enough pace and skill to push the play in transition. When he gets the edge he is hard to defend heading to the net. Physical presence Considering his primary role on the PK - his face-off % is something to monitor. | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 |
| Kevin Shattenkirk | | RD | 34 | 1 of 1 | 77
P3
| Veteran 'D' who can slot into a middle or bottom pairing role depending on opponent and game scenarios. Averages over 16:00 TOI. Deployed at ES and PP. Leans distributor on the PP. Leads the Bruins PP breakout Continues to skate at NHL pace. Has the legs to join the rush as an extra layer offensively. Generally sound game management defensively but does have moments when he needs to close on his opponent quicker / box out more efficiently around the crease. 2-way veteran 'D' on an affordable contract. | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 |
| Trent Frederic | | C | 25 | 1 of 1 | 73
L3
| Has traditionally been deployed in a bottom six role. Averaged 11:55 TOI in (22/23) Coming off of the best offensive season of his career17G 14A in 79 GP. Elevated role to start the (23/24) season. Averaging 13:47 to start the season. Being deployed at ES and PK. Doesn't shy away from contact. Battles in the hard areas. Pushes back. Average puck skill. Sound pace. 2-way forward / role player. Can match up versus middle six opponents on the road. | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 |
| Beckett Hendrickson | | LW | 17 | 1 of 1 | C+
RL
| Depth role on a very deep USA U18 squad in 22/23 Moves well Has better than average skill with the puck on his stick Some battle in the hard areas Hard to gauge his upside offensively in the big picture but he has an understated foundation of skill that might take some time to rise to the top | Apr. 30, 2023 | - |
| Matthew Poitras | | C | 18 | 2 of 4 | 61
RL
| Much better attention to detail on display at the Buffalo Prospects Challenge Off the puck he was more engaged tracking back to assist in his zone Down low in the offensive zone he battled and tried to create turnovers more than he has in the past. He was tenacious / involved. A different player to start the season. Needs to show he is willing to play with same conviction at the Major Junior level as he develops into a pro. Solid skill. Moves well. Added strength will benefit his all round game. | Sep. 16, 2022 | Sep. 27, 2022 |
| Jackson Edward | | LD | 18 | 2 of 3 | 55
D7
| Showed pretty well at the Prospects Challenge in Buffalo Made more plays with the puck in the offensive zone. Tried to be more creative. Jackson battles but he is desperate for more strength (especially leg and core) He's a solid skater. Agile. But very lean looking. Projects to be a 2-way / Low risk 'D'. Needs time. IQ is reliable. No flash to his game. | Sep. 16, 2022 | Sep. 27, 2022 |
| Marc McLaughlin | | C | 23 | 1 of 1 | 56
RL
| One of the older prospects at the Buffalo Prospects Challenge On occasion he found pucks in scoring areas and showed off his quick release. He wasn't shy about battling for rebounds and looking for tips in the hard areas. Stocky/Strong. Not a burner in open ice. More of a shooter than playmaker Has the tools to be used on the PP. His 5vs5 impact will range at times. | Sep. 16, 2022 | Sep. 27, 2022 |
| Fabian Lysell | | RW | 19 | 1 of 1 | 71
M6
| Lysell stood out for the Bruins in Buffalo at the Prospects Showcase He played quick and fast. Up ice, tracking the play at ES and on the PK, he created turnovers that led to scoring chances. Off the rush he also used his speed to back opponents off their blue lines. He isn't a heavy player but he plays fast and showed he has the ability to get places before opponents and let his skill takeover from there. More playmaker than shooter. | Sep. 16, 2022 | Sep. 27, 2022 |
| John Beecher | | C | 21 | 3 of 4 | 59
L4
| Despite leading the Bruins in scoring at the Prospects Challenge in Buffalo, Beecher went through long stretches of barely average effort and detail. His best shift showed speed and tenacity. He scored from around the crease. He battled along the wall. But he didn't play to the identity every time he hit the ice. In fact, he looked moody at times and lacked the three zone detail required for the NHL game. He has the size, speed, and push back to be an NHL player. Needs to be more consistent. | Sep. 16, 2022 | Sep. 27, 2022 |
| Reid Dyck | | G | 18 | 3 of 3 | 71
BU
| It was a struggle to start the season, at the Buffalo Sabres Prospect Challenge, for Dyck His areas of weakness were exposed by the more seasoned young pros Too active in his crease. He gave up far too many second chances off his active pads. Tracking the play and squaring up was also an issue. There is much to like about his upside. He's big, athletic, and quick. When he isn't timing things properly and giving up too many second chances he struggles. Needs time and coaching, | Sep. 16, 2022 | Sep. 27, 2022 |
| Danton Heinen | | C | 26 | 1 of 1 | 61
M6
| Scored 18 goals in 21/22 with 3 goals coming on the power play Considering he averaged only 12:42 TOI his 33 points overall is a sound statistic On the PP he shows willingness to set up net front and battle around the crease Below the goal line Heinen will work to extend plays and has capable puck skill Potential to play a more elevated role on another team in the league. Has bounced around despite only being 27 years old. | May 7, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |
| James van Riemsdyk | | LW | 32 | 1 of 2 | 51
M6
| AVG TOI (16:20) Being used at ES and on the PP. Does not PK. Veteran winger who plays to an identity. Net front / goal line step and stuff on the PP. Works the wall and shields pucks in the offensive zone. Almost always ends up at the net creating screens and tips when pucks are up top. Not the player you want to lead the rush between the blue lines in transition. Average skater. His overall impact, offensively, is trending down at ES but his PP contribution is still an element. AAV makes him a difficult player to acquire without help. One year left on contract. | Mar. 1, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |
| Hampus Lindholm | | LD | 28 | 1 of 2 | 75
P1
| AVG TOI (22:41) Used in all situations. Matches up against top opponents. On the PK he is very quick to take away time and space. Small area play is very good. Secondary compete is really strong. He bumps opponents and has an active stick. On the PP he leads the breakout. In the offensive zone he QB's from the top middle of the ice. Distributes. Walks the line effectively. Can shoot the puck with authority from distance. When defending in his zone he is active and provides detail. Head on swivel. Reads/reacts. | Mar. 1, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |
| Jake DeBrusk | | LW | 25 | 1 of 3 | 45
M6
| Trended down for an extended period of time. Requested a trade in 2021-2022. Then bounced back in the back half of the year and played more to his identity when given an opportunity up in the lineup. A strong skater who is at his best when he is playing fast and hard Capable of working the wall and the hard areas to create second chances Can be a threat off the rush and contribute on the PP. At times he lacks attention to detail and effort off the puck and on the back check. | Jan. 18, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |

| His stats line doesn't tell the entire story this season. A good size prospect who moves well. He has the look of a potential 2-way 'D' as he matures. He's capable with the puck. His skating allows him to get places ahead of opponents. He occasionally joins the rush as an extra layer. His D-zone awareness is responsible. There is more to his game on the horizon. | Apr. 8, 2022 | Jul. 2, 2022 |

BU
| Finishes his year with a bit of an up and down week at the U18 Worlds representing Canada A trend has developed with Reid's game. A butterfly goalie with decent gloves. He does have habit of back handing pucks which lead to some bobbles at times. He moves side to side fluidly. At times he shows he has the ability to steal a game. Other times he seems to lose his focus and allow a poor goal at the wrong time. For today's NHL he has the frame and mechanics to be an NHL goalie but his consistency will have to improve. | Apr. 23, 2022 | Jul. 1, 2022 |

RL
| On a deep American U18 Team Cole provided a secondary layer of offense Considering he was used in a limited role on the PP and deployed mostly at ES his stats for the year are above average. Skates fine. Has reliable IQ and overall compete. He doesn't move the needle as an elite high end prospect but there is a reliability to his game that should make teams consider him later in the 2022 draft. 2-way forward who leans offense. Competes but not overly physical. | Apr. 23, 2022 | May 3, 2022 |

RL
| His element is his potential to create offense He's creative with the puck on his stick. He makes plays. Especially on the PP. More strength required. Needs to find an extra gear. Tracking back and in his zone he leaves much to be desired. His overall attention to detail and battle can be frustrating at times. If he goes to another level with his compete and detail his offensive element becomes even more attractive. | Apr. 3, 2022 | Apr. 8, 2022 |

1B
| The top goalie at The Prospects Game. Time will tell if his performance translates. Lateral push was excellent. Tracked the play in front of him and below the goal line. Side to side he made some outstanding pad saves. Displayed quick reflexes. A 3 stop sequence (2 pad stops followed by a glove save) showed he can make a series of reaction saves and catch pucks clean. Good size. A butterfly goalie who has some (athletic) and (hybrid) in his style. | Feb. 2, 2022 | Mar. 25, 2022 |

T6
| AVG TOI (16:56) Being used primarily at ES and on the PP. His role in NJ ranges. Some nights he does see time on the PK. Averaging (0.76) ppg. On the PP he leads zone entries via neutral zone drop pass. Once in the offensive zone he is most comfortable on the right flank as a shooter / distributor. Big body. Skates very well. Not a heavy player. Active stick more than physical contact. Opponents have to respect his speed through the neutral zone. His off the puck detail and read/reacts in his zone have room for improvement. He can leave you wanting some nights. | Mar. 8, 2022 | Mar. 11, 2022 |

M6
| A reliable player who brings compete, pace, and flexibility to be used in a variety of ways Averages over 18:00 of ice time Takes shifts at even strength and the penalty kill Some sporadic power play time Up ice he pressures the play and battles to create turnovers Better than average skill with the puck on his stick Projects to be a bottom of the lineup pro who will bring energy and enthusiasm | Dec. 11, 2021 | Jan. 17, 2022 |
| Brandon Bussi | | G | 23 | 1 of 1 | D+
ML
| Good size south paw Older junior college goalie who is having his best year to date Average playing the puck. Average gloves. Low net coverage ranges. Crease composure can improve When tracking pucks laterally he has habit of extending beyond his crease to challenge which leads to being caught too far out of position to make initial stops and at times second stops Gives his team a chance to win at this level. Minor league tryout | Dec. 3, 2021 | Jan. 12, 2022 |

RL
| Honest competitor who works consistently shift in and shift out Loads of ice time as a freshman Being used regular shift, on the power play, and occasionally on the penalty kill A plus skater who can dart to space and generally gets places before opponents Leans offense but isn't elite at producing chances 5/5 | Dec. 10, 2021 | Jan. 6, 2022 |
| John Beecher | | C | 20 | 2 of 4 | D+
L4
| Element is easy to identify. Used regular shift and on the penalty kill. Takes key face-offs Plays a power game with speed Physical Battles the hard areas Big body 200ft player who isn't naturally gifted with the puck on his stick Offense comes off effort plays when he creates turnovers and space with his approach | Dec. 10, 2021 | Jan. 4, 2022 |

P2
| Big body defender who moves very well and has the ability to lead the rush and transition pucks on his own Used RS and PP. Does not PK at the college level. QB on the PP as a distributor more than a shooter Shields pucks very well under pressure and shows ability to escape Capable defender but not a player who can be relied upon to shut down top opponents Some risky decisions down low in his zone when he tries to get too creative but not a huge concern as the rest of his game outweighs his mistakes Solid prospect with NHL upside | Dec. 3, 2021 | Jan. 4, 2022 |
| John Beecher | | C | 20 | 1 of 4 | D+
L4
| Is starting to round back into form after missing substantial time with injury recovery. Big. Strong, Competes and plays pretty quick and fast. Solid in the face off circle. The kind of player the coach can roll over the boards in defensive zone starts. Not naturally gifted with the puck on his stick. His playmaking generally comes off hard work and extending plays with his energy and physicality RS and PK at Michigan. | Nov. 27, 2021 | Jan. 2, 2022 |
| Trevor Kuntar | | C | 20 | 1 of 1 | C+
L4
| Character player. Competes. Not shy. Finishes his checks. Leans on opponents. Pressures pucks and creates turnovers. More than willing to get his nose dirty and stir the pot along the wall and in the hard areas. His battle leads to chances in traffic in the offensive zone. 2-way player who brings a mix of tenacity and skill. Valuable prospect with above average skill across the board. | Oct. 30, 2021 | Jan. 1, 2022 |

RL
| Plays with a presence at the college level Good size defender who brings some bump to his game Competes Leader His explosiveness in tight areas defending his zone can improve (net to corner) Walks the line well on the PP and gets pucks to the net from range Minor league upside with potential of being a recall if his skating comes | Oct. 24, 2021 | Jan. 1, 2022 |
| Riley Duran | | C | 19 | 1 of 1 | D+
DP
| Interesting looking freshman with reliable hockey IQ His effort / compete / desire get him results Skating (in all categories) has significant room for improvement Has time on his side to get quicker, faster and more agile Brings size and determination Good size / not shy / has some bump and grind to his game If he improves his skating he will become more of a prospect in time | Oct. 24, 2021 | Jan. 1, 2022 |
