Maceo shows zero offensive ability against his age peers, this typically means he will be less than useless in the NHL. An old school no talent goon, if that. And even those old goons used to put up offense in junior.
It's really alarming they took him in the 3rd. Hopefully it was a lack of icetime and opportunity that is what lead him to being a black hole on offense.

Phillips played in Minnesota Highschool in 22/23 and scored 22 points in 27 games (future first rounder Mason West had 27 in 30 that same year).
