Cameron Reid's Player Profile

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - June 10th: "He closes on pucks quickly and can get the play going up the ice due to his feet. He's average-sized but competes well and is a physical player. He makes efforts defensively and coaches trust him."

Adam Kimelman - NHL.com - June 9th: "The 18-year-old left-handed shot projects to be a top-four defender who effectively can quarterback a power play."

Mike Morreale - NHL.com - June 9th: "The left-handed shot (6-0, 183) came on during the second half of the season to finish with 54 points (14 goals, 40 assists) in 67 games, and tied for sixth among OHL defensemen in goals."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 2nd: "He can influence play with his feet, whether that’s defending and closing gaps, escaping pressure, transporting pucks or getting open and active off the puck. He’s a heady, offensively inclined player but he defends well with a good stick and sense for timing and disruption and has been a major driver of two-way results for the Rangers this season."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - May 27th: "Reid can do a little bit of everything – his three-zone game is so good, and he’s got the intelligence to beat so many players in 1-on-1 situations. I’m not sure the ceiling is that high for Reid, but if you’re looking for someone with the brains and the mobile ability to challenge for a top-four spot one day, he’s your guy."

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - March 26th: "Reid is compact in stature, but plenty strong in the trenches. He doesn’t shy away from physical contact, but his most elite element is his skating ability. Reid has the agility and explosiveness to close on opponents defensively and spin off checks to launch the attack offensively."

Craig Button - TSN - March 25th: "Cameron Reid is a 5-foot-11 and a half defenceman who can skate, think, compete and contribute offensively. You got Jackson Smith, elite skating defenceman, big, rangy. You got Radim Mrtka, who’s a right-shot defenceman, 6-foot-5, all kinds of potential."

Smaht Scouting - March 23rd: "With the puck, Reid flashes upside as a puck mover—capable of joining the cycle, executing clean passes off the wall, and supporting transition when space is available. He’s confident pinching up to keep plays alive in the offensive zone and can make quick reads into the slot. That said, his decision-making under pressure can be inconsistent."
