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.

Leaning top pairing 'D' on projection
Being used in all situations at the AHL level. Sound skater. Agile.
High end hockey IQ. Read the play on and off the puck very well.
Outlets pucks - then joins the rush as an extra layer. In the offensive zone he isn't shy about finding open space - sliding through the slot - pinching down to extend plays
Defensively he's very aware of his responsibilities and shows willingness to bump opponents off the play and use an active stick on the penalty kill. Trustworthy in all situations.

Learning the details of playing in North America
Adapting to having less space to make plays. Picking his spots more often when going on offense and taking risk(s) with the puck.
A very smart, right shot, defender who has the skill set to QB a PP at the NHL level.
He leans distributor more than shooter. Plenty strong for his stature. Excellent skater. Potential remains to be a top pairing NHL defender in time.

A coveted 'Right Shot' 'D' prospect who is a transitional defender that quarterbacks the power play. Sneaky strong. He has the strength and movement to angle opponents and finish his check along the boards. High end hockey 'IQ'. Head on a swivel. He identifies very well in all three zones. Pinches down to keep pucks alive in the offensive zone. Jumps to pucks in the defensive zone. His most attractive element is his vision and playmaking. More of a distributor than a shooter. Elite playmaker who slides into the rush as an extra layer.
