In this episode of the Prospect Spotlight series, our scouts take a half-hour deep dive into the game of a physical and aggressive offensive defenseman with high-end handling and shooting skill: Carter Yakemchuk! First, they introduce the player with his profile, statistical production, and his trifecta of puck skills: shooting, passing, and handling. Next, they shift their attention to his habits, tools, and toolkit, discussing why he is falling down rankings, including their own. Last, they debate Yakemchuk's projection at the NHL level from both stylistic and statistical perspectives, before capping off the episode by looking at which NHL teams would be the best fit for him.

 

Tune back in tomorrow for another Prospect Spotlight episode breaking down the game, style, and NHL projection of a reliable two-way center: Cole Beaudoin!

 

Our tool projection scale goes from 1 to 10:

1 - Below AHL Caliber Tool

2 - AHL Caliber Tool

3 - Replacement-Level Tool

4 - Average 4th line/#6 Defenceman Tool

5 - Average 3rd line/#4 Defenseman Tool

6 - Standard Top-6/Top-4 Tool

7 - Standard Top Line/Pairing Tool

8 - Clear Elite Tool (Suzuki's hockey sense)

9 - Game-Breaking Tool (Quinn Hughes' playmaking)

10 - Top-of-the-Line Elite-Level Tool (Bedard's shot or McDavid's skating)

(note: we try to balance upside and likelihood of reaching it in our evaluations)
