Cullen Potter's Player Profile

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - March 26th: "He will eventually add more strength to his frame, which will lead to more of an interior game. But for now, he relies on his speed and skill to push opponents off their blue line when he is coming through the neutral zone."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - March 25th: "The best-skating forward in this age group by a margin, Potter is a small but talented and extremely fast player who uses his electric speed to put defenders on their heels, back them off, create opportunistic chances, get out in transition and jump onto loose pucks. He's a fun player to watch with his ability to go inside-out and outside-in on players, his ability to round corners and his desire to attack off the rush and challenge D by turning on the jets."

Smaht Scouting - March 23rd: "Cullen Potter is a well-rounded, competitive center who brings energy, pace, and responsible play in all three zones. He’s a strong skater with excellent crossover acceleration, which allows him to generate separation in transition and stay tight to attackers on the backcheck."

Greysen Goudy - FC Hockey - March 9th: "His electric skating and puck-handling blend together smoothly, creating a player who is dangerous anywhere on the ice. Potter is instrumental in ASU’s breakout at five-on-five and on the power play, often picking up a drop pass and blazing up ice to gain offensive possession."

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - February 28th: "He excels in transition and generates offensive chances at a high rate. He's also adjusting to the physicality of the NCAA more and more. The speed, skill, and offensive IQ are high-end, and it's helped him generate solid underlying numbers as an '07 freshman in the NCAA."

Adam Kimelman - NHL.com - February 21st: "Potter (5-10, 172) is one of the fastest skaters in this draft class, able to put defensemen on their heels with his speed. He's fearless offensively when the puck is on his stick and can cut in and out to find lanes for scoring chances."

Mike Morreale - NHL.com - February 21st: "He is the first forward to leave for college after playing on the NTDP Under-17 team, skipping his U-18 season with the program. The 18-year-old is an elite skater capable of creating chances in the offensive end."
