The Pro Hockey Group
Please see our Scouting Report FAQ for detailed descriptions of the scouting process
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.

1B
Lindgren has provided the Capitals with capable goaltending for a long stretch. He's part of the reason why Washington was able to sneak into playoffs as an Eastern Conference wild card team. In his last ten game segment in regular season he posted a .910 save percentage and a 2.65 GAA South paw. Butterfly style. Above average lateral quickness. At times appears smaller than his stature when dropping into butterfly / setting up hybrid / paddle down. Competes to stop pucks any way he needs too. Faced 289 shots in the segment - stopping 263 - allowing 26 goals against Washington team PK % hovers around 80% - Goalie needs to be best penalty-killer. Lindgren has provided the Caps some timely saves in the second half of the season.Apr. 16, 2024Apr. 19, 2024

Uneven impact / consistency - overall - throughout the season Second half of his OHL season provided some peaks when he was engaged physically , playing with pace, and managed the puck responsibly. The valleys still included plenty of compete, sound pace and physical push back - but they also include poor read/react and puck management. Leans 2-way 'D' who's best shift is intriguing but needs to reduce the number of turnovers and ranging detail overall. Risk/Reward draft target.Apr. 30, 2023-

Getting his feet wet as an NHL player It will take time for him to earn ice time in a special teams role. Big body. First three steps are average and will need to continue to improve. In open ice he has started to show much more separation in open ice and the ability to back defenders off or win races to pucks. His long reach is also an asset.

Still an elite shooter. Teams know the puck will end up on his stick on the PP but continue to have a tough time defending against his back door one timer. First three strides have power and can create separation. Occasionally an open ice threat off the rush. Plays a heavy game along the wall. Hard to defend.

The kind of player that needs to find a role in the top half of any team he plays for. His element is offense. Alex has the ability to beat opponents 1vs1 in open ice and tight quarters. He has fantastic hand/eye coordination and vision in the offensive zone He brings very little physically and his defensive commitment ranges from average to non-existent (at times). A great skater who could stop and start on pucks more often. The team that drafts Alex is projecting his offense and assuming they will develop him enough in other areas.Apr. 30, 2022Jul. 4, 2022

Unfortunate cancer diagnosis mid-way through the year derailed his season. Same form of the disease the Mario Lemieux battled several years ago. Outstanding performance within his age group at start of season at Hlinka / Gretzky. RS winger who can play his off-side. Threat to score from the flank and middle of the ice. Quick and fast off the rush. Generally aware defensively. More detail required as he develops. Brings passion, skill, and offence. His element is clearly his offensive upside.

A player that brings value with his ability to be deployed in a variety of roles. Ryan moves well and has the skill and agility to elude pressure with the puck on his stick. Chesley is not an elite point producer but he does bring secondary scoring upside. He gaps up well, kills zone entries, and moves the puck up ice.

AVG TOI (17:35) He's suffered through some ups and downs as the games get more difficult down the stretch. A 2-way / Transitional approach. Light defender. Relies on jumping to space before opponents. When he is forced to engage physically he is at a disadvantage. Forcing pucks, and poorly timed turnovers in key areas of the ice, have been an issue recently. Has the skill set to be used at ES and on the PP.Mar. 13, 2022Mar. 14, 2022
