One extremely effective player defensively this year in the #NHL has been #Pens John Marino. He Predicts game wins close to 70% of his GP and ranks 1st as our top shut down d-men so far this season, jumping between a 1st pair/ 2nd pair of Defensive deployment.

One interesting prospect for the upcoming #NHLDraft is Tucker Robertson of the OHL Peterborough Petes. Robertson stands out offensively at a very high deployment level, but shows poor defensive numbers, possibly reflective of the entire team's defensive performance. #OHL.

Nathan Gaucher, who was ranked as the top QMJHL draft eligible forward by the CSS, is an incredibly well-rounded power forward.

His ability to drive transitions, dominate physical plays and shut down opponents defensively make him a potential 1st rounder for the #2022NHLDraft🏒

Today's QMJHL Profile: Nathan Gaucher. He plays an impressively balanced game, both defensively and offensively. Predicts a game win 60% of GP playing at an over average deployment level. #QMJHL #NHLDraft2022.

The recent pause of activities has allowed to break our twitter hietus! We've recently done a lot of work on Minor hockey leagues. Here is our Top 20 Offensive players from the #QMJHL as processed by our engine.

Breakout Candidate #3: Nicolas Hague. He showed great consistency in a depth role, particularly defensively where he excelled. He is ready to move up the chart with the Vegas Golden Knights. #NHL

@RossLevitan Welcome bud!

[ImPCT Sport - Hockey @ImpctSport]

Breakout Candidate #2: Cody Glass. Played well as a depth piece on a stacked Vegas team. He was deployed more offensively and matched with above average performances. This could be the year he cracks the top 6 with the #Preds!

[ImPCT Sport - Hockey @ImpctSport]

Breakout Player #1: With the 21-22 season fast approaching, we're covering a few players we feel could breakout this year. Logan Stanley played an excellent depth role with the #NHLJets last season. Played strong Defense and at 23y/o we wish Jets fans he takes that next step #NHL

Our updated roster value chart for the #Habs. Based on 2020-2021 season. Lots of movement on the roster. We find Merrill's value is a bit high based on his output with Detroit, his performance decreased after he was traded to MTL.

[ImPCT Sport - Hockey @ImpctSport]

Our analysis of P.K. Subban: Played as a highly deployed D last season and gave some terrible outputs at that deployment level. Was very inconsistent. He could however be a good option at a better deployment level; 2nd or 3rd pairing D.

Analysis of Christian Dvorak: Ranks #71 (F Category), played at a high first line deployment and was bellow average at that deployment level. He however had a strong season up until April. Would/will benefit from a 2nd line deployment. #Habs
