| What Scouts Say | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
“A player that earned his draft position as the year went on. He would go through the wall for a teammate. After being named captain late in the season, McKenzie elevated his game. Very dangerous on PK. Very aggressive on forecheck - takes good angles and looks to finish checks. Skating is just average. Gives a good effort and does not give up on loose pucks. Good player in both ends of rink – strong on puck and will battle along the boards.” - International Scouting Services 2009 Draft Guide "There's so much to like about
this player - he can score, he can hit, he drops the gloves, and he
shows just enough finesse skill to be really projectable. Scores goals
in lots of ways. Has a knack for tips and deflections out front. Doesn't
get enough credit for his finesse ability. He can pick the corners on
the move or thread some nice passes through traffic. ... First step
quickness and speed could be better. But has good balance and agility.
For the style he plays, I don't think his skating is going to be a
problem. ... Will go into the dirty areas and compete physically. Plays
in all situations and is very responsible defensively. Throws some
pretty big open ice hits. Sticks up for his teammates and is pretty good
when he drops the gloves." |
