Recalled by Dallas - February 20th / 2024
Off to a fantastic start to his pro career
Through the first 46GP in the AHL he produced 24G-33A
Deployed at ES and PP#1
There was a time a player like Stankoven was viewed as undersize for the NHL game, but he's easily on a trajectory to be a top six forward and contribute offense.
Sturdy/Strong - Relentless compete - Quick in transition - Elite thinker in the offensive zone - Identifies where the play is moving and finds open space off the puck - Extends zone time with quick retrievals / puck protection / and playmaking.
One of the top young prospects in the entire NHL.

Relentless competitor
Quick - Fast - Transition Threat
Ability to leverage along the boards, escape pressure, and walk to the crease with the puck
Fearless - Hard to defend
Will be challenged to adjust to the pro game and identify open space against more defined opponents
Brain to be used in all situations but more likely to skate at ES and on PP - NHL 2F upside

Position scouted: Centre
Age when scouted: 19
Projection: Top Six
Trending: Up
A highly skilled, undersize forward who plays quick and fast.
He finds small areas in the offensive zone and gets pucks to the net effectively
Difficult to defend. He's slippery along the wall and shifty off the rush.
Size doesn't hold him back. Very competitive.
Infectious player
Element is offense but he is evolving defensively and making more effort in his zone.
