Brennan Yadlowski / Lethbridge Hurricanes WHL D-R / 6-0.5, 174 / 17-Jun-91
Skating: 55 / Skill: 45 / Sense: 50 / Compete: 55 / Tough: 60
Strengths: Some two-way ability and showed tremendous improvement during the season. Competes and is surprisingly rugged for his size.
Weaknesses: Smallish for the style he plays.
Just kept getting better as the season went. Earned the confidence of his coach and played a ton of minutes. Good but not great skater. Good agility and quickness, but does struggle to keep up with speedy forwards.
Can carry the puck if he's got room, but otherwise just keeps it simple. Can get a little panicky with the puck in pressure, but usually can make a clean first pass. Surprising physical tenacity despite a small frame. Competes and drops the gloves (9 FMs).
Summary: Size and style combination is hard to project, but I feel like there could be some hidden offensive upside here. Would want to grab this guy with a 4th rounder. A lot of late blooming potential as one of the younger players in the draft.
Draft Day: Could possibly sneak into the 3rd. A 4th feels more likely.
