My targets:
Aidan Hreschuk, LHD, U.S. NTDP-USHL
Feb. 19, 2003 | 5-foot-11 | 188 pounds
Skating: Average
Puck Skills: Average
Hockey Sense: Average
Compete: Average
Hreschuk was an important player for the U.S. NTDP, who played all situations effectively. He does a lot of good things with the puck. He makes skilled plays often, be it quality outlet passes, creative seam plays, or putting pucks around opponents. He’s not a blazing-fast skater, but he’s quick enough to skate past guys and generate clean exits/entries with his skating and skill. Defensively he’s OK. Due to the lack of size and high-end skating, he can get beaten wide now and then but he’s good enough in that area to make stops. In a sentence, Hreschuk projects to play NHL games, but may have issues sticking due to his size/skating combo.
Conner Roulette, LW, Seattle-WHL
May 13, 2003 | 5-foot-11 | 180 pounds
Skating: Below-average
Puck Skills: Above-average
Hockey Sense: Below-average
Compete: Above-average
Roulette had a limited season between 11 WHL games and a limited-minute role at the U18s. He can create with his skill and effort. He’s very effective playing around the net and shows no fear from physical play. He wins more battles than you would expect for a 5-foot-11 player as well. Roulette can make plays through opponents and to his teammates, but his game is more direct with high-end one-on-one ability than being a cerebral player. The lack of quickness in his skating could hold him back from being more than a tail-end of the lineup type. In a sentence, Roulette projects to play NHL games but does not have enough dimensions in his game to stick as a full-time player.
We have a trade!
