Samoskevich had a good season in the USHL. Slightly more was expected of him coming into the year, but he still was one of the more dangerous forwards in the league offensively. Samoskevich is a talented offensive player who stands out when he has the puck on his stick. He’s very skilled, showing the ability to beat opponents often with his stick skills and can do so on the move. He skates well enough to play at higher levels. Samoskevich can create offense with his skill, but also makes plays to his teammates very well and has a shot that can finish from mid-range. He’s an undersized player who is just OK off the puck and physically. In a sentence, Samoskevich projects as an NHL bottom-six forward.
