Timo Meier's Player Profile

Dan Marr - Director of NHL CS: "He's a solid and strong skater both with and without the puck, has high-end hockey sense and reads the play very well. He is very effective in 1-on-1 situations."

Adam Kimelman of NHL.com (Apr.20th): "What do Nikolai Ehlers, Kevin Fiala and Connor McDavid all have in common? All were beneficiaries of playing alongside the 6-1, 209-pound forward at some point this season. Meier skates well and doesn’t hesitate to use a strong shot that helped him score 44 goals in 61 games, but also knows how to set up his linemates; he was second on Halifax with 46 assists."

Mike Morreale of NHL.com (Apr.20th): "The 6-1, 209-pound left-shot forward can play center or right wing and is strong with and without the puck. He has high-end hockey sense, competes hard and is effective in 1-on-1 situations. Led Halifax in the regular season with 44 goals, and with 23 power-play goals. He had 90 points in 61 regular-season games and he’s in the top five in goals and points in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League playoffs."

Profile from: Dennis Schellenberg of Scouting-Factory.Blogspot.ch (Dec. 21st): Strengths

1. Shot

2. Offensive Play

3. Scoring

Area’s For Improvement

1. Defensive Play

2. Protecting The Puck/Corner Battles

3. Pass accuracy

Scouting Report: A winger with a great wrist and slapshot who loves to use it. His quick release makes it hard for goaltenders to track the shot. Uses all of his shot arsenal. Good first steps and speed but could be more agile. Has a good offensive mind and is always looking to put himself in a good shooting spot. Good play away from the puck in the offensive zone, though not in his own zone. Tends to make blind passes and turns the puck over too many times. Improved his physical play and is willing to use his body but still needs to use his size better in corner battles and while protecting the puck. Rather shoots than passes. Shows hockey sense and is making himself always available for a pass. His point production exploded this season and he elevated his game to a new level but this should be enjoyed with caution as he is on the teams most dominant offensive line together with 9th overall pick Nikolaj Ehlers.

NHL Potential: Sniper. Has a very good shot and isn't afraid to use it.

Curtis Joe of EliteProspects: A physically dominant winger with the ability to play in a skill or character role. In the offensive end, Meier is very aware and gets himself into spaces where he can easily make seeing eye passes or snap hard, accurate shots. Can impact the game in a number of different ways, and is very consistent in his efforts. All-in-all, the kind of versatile player that you can put on a skill line, and trust to create dangerous chances, or on a shutdown line, and trust to help stop pucks from going into your net.
