In this episode, we break down the game of Shane Vansaghi, a violent winger with more offence to show. We are joined by Mark, from NHL Draft Pros and McKeens. First, we introduce the player with his profile, statistical production, and his tools: shooting, passing, handling, skating, and physicality. Next, we shift our attention to his toolkit and habits, for which we take out the tactics board. Last, we discuss Vansaghi's projection at the NHL level, where he might fall on draft day, and some NHL player comparisons.
