Powered By
The Pro Hockey Group
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.

P3
Projection: Third Pair
Trending: Under NHL Contract
Still developing - teases with the look of a player who could end up as a solid 2PD - other times he struggles to execute with the puck / lacks off (and on) the puck battle defensively
Ended the (22/23) playing for Team Canada at the World Championships and looked capable of quarterbacking the PP. He has also been thrust into the role with the Canadiens occasionally. Leans '2-way D ' with a secondary transitional element.
His hockey IQ is in place. He has sound spatial awareness in all three zones. Additionally he has a good release from distance , will pinch down to keep pucks alive , and makes plays moving the puck out of his zone and in the offensive zone. Issue is consistency right now. He competes - just needs to execute better at times.

Projection: Second Pair
Trending: Up
Transitional / 2-way 'D' ... Leans transitional
Good size. Moves well. Brings skill and vision. More of a distributor than a shooter.
Agile. Has ability to spin off pressure and skate pucks up ice. On the offensive blue line he 'walks' the blue line to open up options to make plays.
A 'bumper' in the defensive zone. He isn't a punishing player.
Top 4 NHL 'D' on projection. Bulk of his minutes will be skated at ES and PP. Not likely a PK #1
