NHL Draft: Stars look forward on day 2

"Alex shows a real strong competitiveness and willingness to go to the net. He takes the hit to make the play, yet at the same time can stickhandle in a telephone booth and find the open man. Night in night out, he comes to play - the effort is always there."
- NHL Central Scouting's Jack Barzee

“Chiasson has all of the tools to become a productive prototypical power forward. Has a long reach and hard shot. He will accumulate points through hard work, crashing the net and paying the price. Given time he should be a power forward with the ability to put up good offensive numbers. He loves to compete and shows the grit that any coach would want for his team. A very good skater for his size who can finish with flash or grit.”
- International Scouting Services 2009 Draft Guide

"Huge winger with fine offensive tools. Still shows some inconsistencies in his game, but has improved in a lot of departments since his prep season last year. Big, physical kid will bang and grind anywhere on the rink and has increased his willingness to compete hard on a consistent basis. Has good knack around net and will outmuscle defenders or space around the crease. Snaps off heavy wristers coming down the wing, but tends to telegraph his shots a bit. Good puckhandler with exceptionally long reach - uses his body to shield the puck. Not the quickest skater in terms of lateral movement, but effort and straight line power are there."

"He uses his speed on the forecheck and is becoming a nightmare for defenseman as he finishes his checks with considerable force."
- Kevin Wey, McKeen's Hockey

“Has excellent puck skills and thinks the game very well offensively - instinctive and aware of game situations. Very good skater with speed and agility. Sees the ice well and can thread the needle with soft touch passes. ... Has a laser beam wrist shot that he can pinpoint to corners, but if he’s not scoring, he has little impact on the game. Several clubs are staying mum on their interest in the kid because they're hoping to steal him with a mid-round pick."

"He is primarily a swift skating playmaker but can also finish off plays, he also possesses some feistiness to his game."

"Needs to bulk up ... Good offensive upside ... Good speed and hands ... Creative with the puck ... Ineffective in high traffic areas."
- International Scouting Services 2009 Draft Guide

"Skating is a serious flaw. Short, choppy stride and poor balance really hampers his game even at the junior level. Has some straight line speed, but it takes him forever to wind it up. ... Best assets are his soft hands and projectable body. Excellent hands from anywhere below the circles. Jumps on rebounds near the crease. Can create for himself with excellent stickhandling ability in tight spaces. Plays with a lot of energy and desire, but poor skating doesn't allow him to get to loose pucks. ... Doesn't do much defensively. Has more offensive upside, but probably more bust potential."

"Vincour is an exciting and talented offensive player .. skating is his strength, as he has a great first step and climbs quickly to high acceleration .. prone to injuries, he was limited to 49 games this season but put up good numbers with 36 points, including 17 goals .. he's improved on his defensive game but needs to work on man to man defense .. needs to be involved more physically to be effective and utilize his 6-foot-2 frame .. great hands, as he has a quick release off the half ..."
- Randy Gorman, McKeen's Hockey

"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."
