Andrew Cristall's Player Profile
Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - Dec. 19th: "He may be undersized, but he is truly one of the most talented playmakers in junior hockey already. There are passing lanes that most players would never see developing, and Cristall has the passing precision to pick them apart."Austin Garret - Smaht Scouting - Nov. 25th: "He’s a magician with the puck on his stick with his skill, and his ability to thread passes all over the ice is high end. He’s going to make a hard push for the top 5 by the end of this year as his puck luck is regressing positively recently and the points are starting to stack up in bunches."
Corey Pronman - The Athletic - Nov. 15th: "Cristall can make a lot of difficult plays with the puck and do so under pressure. The questions on him, though, surround his size and skating as he’s got a wonky-looking skating stride, and with a guy who is barely 5-foot-10 that’s not ideal."
Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - Nov. 1st: "Despite his diminutive size, he’s also a smart player off of the puck and I’ve been struck by how often he’s in the right position above the puck to hold play inside the offensive zone (I absolutely get why he was named an alternate captain). fHe’s as fun to watch with the puck on his stick as almost anyone in this draft."
Chris Horvat - Dobber Prospects - Oct. 20th: "Cristall is an intelligent and efficient distributor of the puck who thinks the game at a high level. He is a shifty and fluid skater who shows composure with the puck on his stick, able to extend possessions with smart reads as he waits for options to open up."
Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - Oct. 19th: "Can skill and will overcome the slight (5-foot-10, 165 pounds) frame?"
Steven - Daily FaceOff - Oct. 3rd: "Small, but shifty, Cristall started the Hlinka in a depth role and finished with six points in five games."
Peter Baracchini - The Hockey Writers - Sept. 27th: "He’s very deceptive with his movements and he’s extremely difficult to contain. He maintains great body position with the puck and has the burst of speed to blow by defenders."
Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - August 8th: "Maybe my early favourite in this class, Cristall is a creative, slippery playmaker who isn’t afraid to try things and possesses a rare ability to hang onto pucks and pull eyes and bodies towards him, and then expose opposing structures to the weak side of coverage."
