I can't stop laughing at the bolded. I read the thread and a few commented on his skating or lack there of. I went online and found some scouting reports. Two total opposites!
Future Considerations Scouting Reports:
“Two-way center that works hard with and without the puck on his stick, Leschyshyn plays with a competitive edge and battles hard for loose pucks, displays excellent vision with the puck and can dish the puck to teammates for scoring opportunities, works well off the cycle; understands the game well.” – Brandon Holmes, Riding Pine Hockey
“A hard working center who is solid in both zones and a physical presence with or without the puck, using his momentum to bowl over the opposition…has good touch with the puck…skating ability just screams power as he forcefully skates like a bullet shot out of rifle maximizing each stride…has the quickness and tools to be an effective in transition…makes adjustments to protect the puck…loves to shoot the puck and can quickly gather pucks and whistle them on net…has good vision of the ice…lives for the lower half of the o-zone where space is tight and he can quickly pivot to a lane for a quick chance…compete is ratcheted to 10 on every play and he goes all out…all over the ice putting pressure on the forecheck before coming all the way back to support in his teams zone…has the compete to get into shot lanes and make tough plays on the boards…IQ also allows him to recognize plays that he can make to impact opponents chances…never seems to be static on the ice…relentless motor…will likely play pro as he has the work ethic and smarts to play a bottom six role at the very least.

Jake Leschyshun — Regina LC
Got stronger on his edges with every viewing, adding great agility and lateral explosiveness, but unfortunately missed second half with leg injury. A super pest who plays with a chip on his shoulder, constantly finishing his checks and initiating on the forecheck. Tremendous second effort below the circles in offensive zone, teammates rely on the fact that he will win battles. Great at quick-strike counterattacks in transition through the neutral zone. Patient in tight waiting out goaltenders and regularly showing mature pass-shoot decisions. Loves to skate with the puck and his passes on the move always find the target. Majority of his chances come around the crease, crashing the net to create traffic for screens. Has shown impressive hand/eye coordination on deflections out of midair. Disrupts opponents’ rhythm in all three zones. Not hard to imagine him in an NHL energy role someday.
Projection: 3rd/4th line character centre on contending team.
