Rutger McGroarty Scouting Report

The Jets first round selection in 2022 (14th). McGroarty is equal parts power and finesse. There was a time I was concerned about his open ice pace. He's never been a poor skater, but another gear was certainly required for both the college, and eventually, pro game.
McGroarty is the Captain for Team USA. He should slot into one of their top two lines. He is capable of being used in all situations. His impact is greatest in the offensive zone from the hash marks down, along the wall, and out front the net. The, now, 6'1 209lbs forward is hard to defend. He has quick mitts. McGroarty is efficient finding pucks in traffic via tips and rebounds.
