| What Scouts Say | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
“I think Kyle's got a little bit of Chris Drury in
him. I look at his passion, his natural skills and his tenaciousness,
and that's what I saw in Chris. He's a lot of fun to watch because he
has that vision along with a wicked shot. He very seldom passes up the
opportunity to make the right play -- he's in position to shoot the puck
and has that insight into whether to freeze and dish or just let it go.” "Really fast and slick laterally. Great effort
level - always keeps his feet moving in traffic and outworks opponents
for loose pucks. Ultra competitive. Creates a lot of offense off a heavy
persistent forecheck." "Kyle plays a solid two way game. He moves well to
the open ice and finds seams for making plays happen very quickly. He
has good set up skills and distributes the puck very well. His vision is
one of his stronger points, as he does find his line mates very well and
usually creates some sort of scoring chance. ... a very competitive
player, with good open ice skills." |
