His top speed leaves something to be desired due to his size, but his acceleration and agility is fantastic imo, especially his agility. Really underrated aspect. He can turn on a dime

Similar to Robertson in that sense. Control is usually going to translate better than power.

Ya I have watched him alot for many years. He is a very short stalky kid. He's been full grown now for a few years.... I know alot of small guys have made the NHL but until u actually see him live, u won't realize just how small he is. I am a MASSIVE fan of him and hope for the best but i can still admit he does have a big hill to climb to show he can play in the NHL... also he is a fantastic kid

Yep, and he is faster and much quicker than Robertson still, even with their size difference taken into account so I think ultimately that wouldn't hurt his game at the next level.
With that being said I have seen Stankoven fly by and skate around people down the ice and on the rush, but I just think the much faster NHL dmen will be a much bigger challenge for him on that part of his game. I think he will handle it fine tho and find ways around it, he already likes that play where if a dman cuts him off he will pull up and look for the late-comers. He's a really smart player so he can adjust to it if it becomes a problem.

That's pretty much the case with every player under 5'11, and especially under 5'10. Stankoven is no different. Plays a lot like a few current NHL stars who made the transition with no issues. Same build as Alex DeBrincat, who is also tiny in person. His work ethic, quickness, skill, and IQ will matter more than his size at any level. It's definitely not any more of a concern for him than any other small guy making the NHL/who has made the NHL
How is he on the boards?
He gets most of his points from the dirty areas and leads the whl in shots/game. So that bodes well for the nhl

He outworks everyone on the ice, so in board battles and on the forecheck he is a pest. Will generally end up coming out of the pile with the puck

2 goals, 1 assist through 2 periods tonight.
He is going to be a good NHL player just like Brendan Gallagher whom the Canucks passed over from their backyard as well.

Bats the puck out of mid-air for the hat trick goal.
Before that he setup a shorthanded goal.
So a 5-point night for him in the first playoff game for Kamloops

Hat trick and 5pts in a playoff game? This kid is going to put big numbers in the NHL.
