SCOUTING REPORT
Hampered by the graduation of his former linemans Conor McDavid and Dylan Strome , the diminutive DeBrincat’s production dropped…to a goal a game pace.
At 160 lbs. and a true 5’ 7” stature his lower centre of gravity might hamper the enemy from knocking off the biscuit, and it certainly doesn’t damper his work ethic in either end of the ice. A goal scorer and offensive generator, he uses his quickness to dart in and out of tight spots, finds space, and makes space for his teammates the opposition is drawn to him. His great vision and creativity conjure up scoring chances where there were none. He has soft hands that let him not only distribute, but help get shots off quickly. Rates as one of the top snipers in this draft. Goes to the battle zones without hesitation. Projects as a scorer. The only thing that remains to decided, is when a NHL club is willing to call the name of this mighty mite.
