There are a couple of things no scout can definitely see by watching a 17-year-old kid play. One is exactly how much he can improve his strength and speed by consistent training, and the other is whether he has the dedication to do it.
Wyttenbach seems to have chosen Quinnipiac specifically because it will help him develop physically, and so far, it’s paying off. That’s a projectable quality, but he hadn’t shown it yet in his draft year, when everyone expected him to play another season in the USHL.
