His current offensive value is driven more by volume than efficiency. For a player receiving top-six minutes and power play time, his 22 points (13G, 9A) is modest.
Puck Management and Decision-Making Need Work
Potter’s 6 giveaways per game is among the highest in his peer group and is a red flag considering he completes only 84% of his passes. Many of his turnovers are a result of trying to do too much, skating into pressure, or forcing lateral plays into coverage. His 1.03 passes per game that lead to Grade “A” teammate chances is solid but suggests he’s not yet elevating linemates the way top NHL center prospects often do.
