JAKOB IHS-WOZNIAK

Scout: Tony

Skating:

Jakob can be a smooth fluid skater art times, although it does not look like he is fast.

Passing/Handling:

Jakob is above average at passing and handling the puck, although usually the puck is not on his stick long enough

Shooting:

Jakob has a variety of shots, slap shots, wrist shots and one timers. His shots are usually accurate and he can get his own shot off.

IQ (Vision, Anticipation, Panic/Poise):

Jakob is a smart player, able to Anticipate where to go to get open for a pass from a teammate to get his shots.

Forechecking:

I did see some forechecking, especially when he turned over the puck, but also saw some times where it was just a stick wave.

Defense:

I did not see a ton of defense from Jakob, other than some stick defense

Best Asset:

I would say Jakob's best asset is his ability to get his shots off, either by himself or via finding a opening to receive a pass from a teammate

Biggest Concern:

My biggest concern is lack of defense and not a lot of BASH

Top Tier/Role Potential:

Tier 1/ Top Six

Justification for Top Tier Assessment:

Jakob could reach Tier 1 with his shooting and a lot of power play time

50th Percentile Tier/Role:

Tier 3/Bottom six or extra forward

Justification for 50th Percentile Tier Assessment:

Jakob's lack of defense and sometimes lackluster play, not a lot of BASH

Stylistic Comparable:

I could not come up with a good comparable, but I did see one scout said Andre Burakovsky

Scouts Final Thoughts and Additional Stats/Info:

Jakob could have productive career, if can even out peaks and valleys, Picks up defense and Physicality
