Strengths: He is a strong all-around offensive player and is a very strong skater.
Strengths: He makes a good first pass out of the zone while he’s physical along the boards and in the crease area.
Strengths: Playing physically is something he really enjoys doing and is quite good at. His shot is an improving asset while he is a strong skater for his size.
Strengths: He is well-rounded offensively and despite an awkward style, his skating is underrated. He isn’t afraid to get involved physically.
Strengths: He has good positioning in his crease and doesn’t get caught out of position often. A high volume of shots doesn’t slow him down late in a game.
We all know what Alexei Emelin can bring to the table. He’s a punishing hitter and he has been an effective shot blocker recently as well.
Two seasons into his NHL career, former 3rd overall pick Alex Galchenyuk has shown that he can be a quality secondary scorer despite turning just 20 years old partway through last year.
Every team has ‘that’ player, someone who shows flashes of being dominant while being near invisible quite often as well.
