| What Scouts Say | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
“He’s a dynamic player, a leader and a type of
player that has developed into a complete offensive and defensive threat
every time he is on the ice. He has a rocket of a wrist shot and he can
beat you by putting the puck in the net, going around a defender, or
freezing the goaltender and passing it off to one of his wingers. The
concern is going to be his overall size, like there was with Scott
Gomez, with Brian Gionta and with Patrick Kane, but at the same age he
is probably a little thicker and a little bit more compact than they
were. He’s a great hockey player.” "Schroeder is a very imaginative playmaker who may
be small in stature, but is a mature, take-charge guy who runs the PP
and distributes the puck beautifully. Can also wire a sneaky snap shot
that he should use more often. He's very advanced and should be in the
NHL in a year after dominating college hockey as a freshman and being
the best performer on the U.S. World Junior squad." "Schroeder is an offensive
machine. He's short and stocky, but is size doesn't affect him as it
would other players because he has such a strong core." "Jordan is a very dynamic player with high-level
skills. An agile and speedy playmaker, Schroeder’s perimeter quickness
gets opponents defenses into a panic. His game changing scoring
abilities put him in the top ten of the talent pool in this year’s draft
class." |
