Here are a couple of excerpts that I could find that mention Reschnys skating. Seems like he skates at, likely, an above average level. Most of whats out there is that his skating is a strength and he will get around the ice just fine. Other than being 5'10 (180lb) he is everything we are looking for in a C at 18.
Corey Pronman -
The Athletic - June 10th: "He's not the most dynamic skater for a guy his size, but he will be able to move at an NHL level. He's on the smaller side, but Reschny can create at the net and kill penalties. He's played center in junior, showing a diligent two-way game."
Adam Kimelman -
NHL.com - June 9th: "Reschny's speed and tenacity make him an appealing prospect. The 18-year-old is committed to play at the University of North Dakota next season, which should help him continue to add strength and develop his skills against older competition."
Steven Ellis -
Daily Faceoff - May 27th: "Reschny’s ability to produce no matter the situation makes him so intriguing. He’s not huge, but he makes up for it with explosive speed and elusiveness, making him a tough player to contain on the rush. He’s an outstanding playmaker, maybe one of the best in this class."
Jason Bukala -
Sportsnet - March 26th: "He will eventually add more strength to his frame, which will lead to more of an interior game. But for now, he relies on his speed and skill to push opponents off their blue line when he is coming through the neutral zone."
