C/RW Logan Stankoven, 5'8"170lbs (Kamloops, WHL): A very enjoyable player to watch, he was one of my faves from the U-18s. 6gp/7g/3a/10pts for Kamloops this year, and 8pts in 7 games in the tourney. Last year he was Western Conference Rookie of the Year in the Dub with 59gp/29g/19a/48pts. Plays at a high-gear, with high compete, high motor, and high-tempo. Fearless.

Stanky makes things happen, even out of nothing, all over the ice. He's got great puck skills, strong puck management, and amazing 1-on-1 ability. He's been called an elite forechecker. His forte just might be his shot-he has one of the quickest, most accurate shots in the draft, and he can score from anywhere. He doesn't leave gaps in the defensive zone, or the neutral zone-he attacks the puck. He will battle anyone, anywhere on the ice, and never gives up on a play.

There have been some mixed reviews on his skating, and i firmly side with those who say his skating is near-elite. In the U-18s, his skating looked like a big strength of his, and it kind of makes me mad to read about his skating being mediocre. He was faster than most, according to what I saw. He can pivot and turn well, and has great lateral speed and agility. He needs the most work on getting stronger, as he can lose battles due to his size. He also needs to learn to use his teammates more, and some of his passes (like his cross-ice) can be inaccurate at times. He has all the tools to be a top-6 player, though. THN ranks him 39th.
