02:09 2019 Draft Countdown Karl Henriksson, Billy Constantinou, Vladislav cognitive learning systems Kolyachonok, Antti Tuomisto, and Brayden Tracey | |
Constantinou is mobile in a non-traditional way. He routinely finds the holes in the opposing defence and exploits them with a constant use of crossovers.Cognitive learning systems he can waltz through, fake wide, go inside the defensive formation, and attack the net to create scoring chances while drives his body into multiple changes of direction by crossing his feet.Cognitive learning systems this way, he accelerates and draws half-circles around opponents. His great crossover techniques transform what should really be a weakness for constantinou into a strength.Cognitive learning systems the prospect’s best plays this season often originated from his speed. Experience alone will teach constantinou a lot about how to approach the game, but he can already be electrifying.Cognitive learning systems when the defenceman jumps on the ice, it’s guaranteed fun for everyone. Spectators lean in to better catch his attempts, and teammates profit from the high-event hockey the defenceman likes to play.Cognitive learning systems if he can limit how much opponents also benefit from it, learning to harness his wild nature and unleash it at the right time, constantinou could become a talented offensive defenceman at the next level.Cognitive learning systems – david st.Louis – habs eyes on the prize Offensively, constantinou has shown in his time with niagara that he can play with a talented roster around him.Cognitive learning systems his skating and high hockey IQ allows him to join in the rush. His excellent vision allows him to be a set up guy from the point. He can see and find even the smallest of lanes.Cognitive learning systems his ability to move laterally and control the offensive blue line makes him an excellent power play quarterback. Defensively, I don’t want to say the move to kingston has exposed a flaw in his game.Cognitive learning systems the horses aren’t there in kingston and what it has done is forced him to play more on the defensive side of the puck. His gap control is very good.Cognitive learning systems he recognizes the need and has the ability to keep players to the outside. Once he adds more muscle, he will become more adept at winning battles along the wall and in front of the paint.Cognitive learning systems his strength has been and always will be the transition game with an excellent ability to clear his zone with an excellent first pass or to take care of business himself and skate out of danger.Cognitive learning systems – dominic tiano, OHL writers Constantinou is an outstanding skater. His edgework, agility, and pivots are outstanding. He also has very good speed going forward.Cognitive learning systems this gives him great mobility. Constantinou pairs this with very good stickhandling ability and is able to skate the puck out of his own zone as well as lead the rush.Cognitive learning systems constantinou loves to do so and is a big risk taker from the back end. Constantinou also has a very good wrist shot and a good release. He can also take a strong slap shot from the point on the power play.Cognitive learning systems constantinou also has very good vision and passing skills. He can start the breakout or quarterback the power play. He needs to work on his defensive game as he can struggle in his own end.Cognitive learning systems – ben kerr, last word on sports “kolyachonok is an excellent skater with tremendous agility and very good speed. He is capable of jumping into the play but chooses his opportunities very carefully. Once in the offensive zone, he rarely makes a bad pinch, choosing the safe play most of the time.Cognitive learning systems he sees the ice extremely well and is an excellent passer. He has a very good shot from the point that almost always hits the target.” Kolyachonok is an intelligent player.Cognitive learning systems his positioning in the defensive zone is very sound. His skating allows him to angle opponents off – difficult to beat one-on-one. He uses a very active stick to defend and closes lanes smartly and quickly.Cognitive learning systems his transitioning from defence to offence is excellent. He has the ability to skate out of danger and out of the zone, but he is also capable of making an excellent first pass.Cognitive learning systems he is also a left shot defender who plays as strong on his off side.” – dominic tiano/OHL writers “from game one, kolyachonok’s transition to the smaller north america rinks and two-way style of play was seamless.Cognitive learning systems most european players go through an adjustment period but with his elite mobility, speed and a strong understanding of his position, it allowed him to step right in as if he were a seasoned veteran.Cognitive learning systems his on-ice composure and off ice maturity beyond his years have no doubt helped with his north american transition, making him one of the best at his position in the 2019 NHL draft class.” – karl stewart, NHL central scouting cognitive learning systems Kolyachonok is an impressive skater who utilizes his explosive speed and ample agility in order to rush the puck up ice or smother attackers within his defensive zone.Cognitive learning systems once in possession of the puck is when kolyachonok’s skating shines the brightest, as the native of minsk, belarus can blow past opposing players and his endlessly confident in his ability to do so.Cognitive learning systems Although kolyachonok’s skating abilities and confidence with the puck stand as two of the youngster’s most impressive traits, they can — at times — lead to significant defensive lapses.Cognitive learning systems owing to his natural offensive instincts and drive, kolyachonok can be caught out of position at times due to his attempts to single-handedly generate scoring chances.Cognitive learning systems – prospect pipeline Tuomisto is an offense-minded defenseman with good puck-skills and a great shot. His skating is good for someone his size, and it’s been getting better all season long.Cognitive learning systems tuomisto’s defensive game needs some improvements but because he has great size and good hockey sense, it’s reasonable to expect that part of his game to grow.Cognitive learning systems he hits players to separate them from the puck but doesn’t go looking for big hits. He’s very lanky at the moment and will need at least a couple of years to add more muscle to his frame.Cognitive learning systems tuomisto has top-four upside, and he’s likely to get drafted in the second round this summer. – jokke nevalainen, dobber prospects There are good basic elements to antti tuomisto’s game.Cognitive learning systems the finn’s gap control is fine and he manages to reduce the attacking player’s space in the offensive zone. As a power play quarterback, tuomisto looks for a simple and safe pass with no risk of turnover.Cognitive learning systems tuomisto’s straight line speed is quite slow and he doesn’t gain a lot of momentum during his few first steps. His lateral movement is better but it requires anticipating the play.Cognitive learning systems all things considered, he relies heavily on his positioning.The finn uses his body well near the boards. He has a big body but there’s a plenty of room to fill out.Cognitive learning systems on the downside, tuomisto has a tendency to get himself off balance under the pressure. He compensates it by using his stick to cover passing and shooting lanes effectively.Cognitive learning systems – markus suhonen, finn prospects Measured at 6’3”, tuomisto is a tall two-way defenceman. His skating (U20 game) looked quite good going forward and backward, but his lateral movement was not great.Cognitive learning systems tuomisto was able to make up for his lack of mobility with his reach, but against quick opposing forwards it could end up being a problem. He showed good poise with the puck in his own end, regularly making solid breakout passes.Cognitive learning systems tuomisto did not look very comfortable with the puck in a few situations, but by keeping his play relatively simple, it was not a big problem.Cognitive learning systems tuomisto skated in an upright stance and seemed very engaged, always reading the play developing around him. He has a very powerful shot from the point, which he used multiple times on the power play.Cognitive learning systems defensively, tuomisto missed a few assignments here and there but used his reach and size very well. He will be even more difficult to play against once he fills out his frame.Cognitive learning systems – lassi alanen, finn prospects Solidly built winger who is confident in his carries in the high traffic. He is not the finished product and he needs to become a higher pace 60 minute player.Cognitive learning systems light on his skates and edges, he finds the soft areas and is opportunistic in tracking down rebounds, like he was built to be a greasy area scorer.Cognitive learning systems his rookie WHL season is one where he has excelled with no fear failure. Will need time to round out is development, but clearly his name has been rising on draft boards.Cognitive learning systems bill placzek, draft site The winger has a goal-scoring instinct, and he possesses a precise release to go along with it. Tracey can shoot from a stand-still with the use of a catch-and-release motion, and can also fire in stride and combine his shot with a couple of moves to further surprise the goalie.Cognitive learning systems he only needs a second of space to pick his spot and hit the back of the net. – david st-louis, habs eyes on the prize Brayden tracey owns the high slot on the top PP and he uses his simplistic puck control skills to change the angle on the shot, fake the pass, shoot with power and accuracy, or slip down to grab an easy one-timer.Cognitive learning systems as far as draft eligible forwards go from the WHL, brayden tracey might be the best at adjusting to line mates, filling gaps, and playing the system.Cognitive learning systems his individual skills might not top the charts but it’s hard to ignore the type of numbers he is putting up. – joel henderson, dobber prospects cognitive learning systems Tracey is an excellent possession player who uses his long stick and frame to protect the puck. His passes have tricked more than a few WHL goalies and defenders this season.Cognitive learning systems he likes to fake the shot and feed his teammates with clean, crisp passes from anywhere. Like his passes, tracey’s shot is deceptive. He has an effective, heavy wrister that he can change the angle on to fool goalies, but he can also unleash a wicked one-timer from the high slot on the powerplay.Cognitive learning systems – lauren kelly, mile high hockey | |
