Braeden Cootes's Player Profile

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - January 28th: "He's a good, if not very good skater who plays with a lot of pace. He has strong offensive skills, playmaking and finishing abilities. He creates offense at fast tempos and in a direct manner."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - January 22nd: "Pro habits on and off the ice make him a safe pick. Even if he’s not producing, he’s good enough to impact the game in other areas."

Hannah Stuart - Bleacher Report - January 20th: "He's an agile guy who plays with some serious pace, and he's one of the most tenacious players any time he steps onto the ice. He's been showing flashes of very real creative offense, often in games where he just isn't getting a lot of opportunities."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - January 16th: "Cootes might become more of an energy forward in the NHL, and that’s OK. The thing that really stands out here is just how much he wants the puck, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Cootes is also a solid playmaker, often easily finding teammates in open space."

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - Dec. 17th: "If you like players who play with pace and intensity, Cootes is your guy. He plays a strong 200-foot game because of his motor, allowing him to play up and down the lineup on any team he’s been a part of."

Smaht Scouting - Dec. 10th: "Cootes plays the game fast and always puts a good effort in especially along the boards and in defensive situations. He battles very hard and most of the time he exits battles with his team being in control of the puck by his doing, even when battling stronger and bigger defenseman."

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - Dec. 3rd: "Cootes is a relentless competitor who can be deployed in a variety of roles. He has the skill set, and commitment, to match up against top flight opponents in a shutdown role. Cootes also provides better than secondary offence."
