Note: Reports prior to Sept 2023 were originally graded out of ten, and also included additional categories that have been merged into the current categories.
This likely results in the overall ratings prior to 2023 being decreased in comparison to reports since Sept 2023.For an `Apples to Apples` comparison between players, we recommend only comparing reports before, or after, Sept 2023.
Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

Wetsch plays the game the same way every night.
Pressures opponents up ice as F1 on the forecheck
Finishes his checks. Battles in the trenches. Goes to the net hunting tips and rebounds.
Secondary offense at the NHL level on projection. Potential middle of the lineup match-up forward who can grind down opponents.
Skating and skill are sound. As is his hockey sense.

Wetsch is the kind of player who can be thrust into a variety of roles. He has good size and strength. He never shies away from being engaged in the hard areas - along the wall and out front the net.
On the power-play he is efficient as a low flank, or net front option.
Good skater. Leans shooter more than natural play maker. Competes.
Mid-range offense is possible. Could also end up being a useful, bottom six energy / checker.
