Malcolm Spence's Player Profile

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - March 26th: "Spence has the ability to be a difference maker. When he’s on his game he brings a combination of skill and will to the equation. He’s put together physically and already plays at NHL pace."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - March 25th: "Spence is a competitive, fast, detailed, hardworking player who can get out in transition or attack off the wall. He plays the game with intention, sticks with plays and has decent-though-not-dynamic skill."

Smaht Scouting - March 23rd: "Even on a bottom 6, in the future, he’ll need a puck-carrying center to play with to be effective. He’s a decent passer and fine in his own zone even if the effort comes and goes, but players like him in the OHL rarely evolve into players with top 6 NHL production."

Joseph Aleong - FC Hockey - March 9th: "Spence is a pro-style winger with the puck skills, physicality, and two-way awareness to project as a full-time NHL player. His skating and hard shot suggest top-six potential, though his inconsistent decision-making and vision with the puck need refinement to reach that ceiling."

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - February 28th: "Spence is one of the most projectable players in the class. He brings a physical edge to the game and a north-south offensive game. When he gets in on the forecheck, Spence knows how to disrupt defenders and turn pucks over deep in the zone."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - February 26th: "Not the most dynamic player in this draft class, but his game is still highly effective. He competes in all three zones and has plenty of skill to produce at least mid-level offence at the next level."

Adam Kimelman - NHL.com - February 21st: "Spence (6-1, 203) would be a good choice in this spot, with his acceleration and skating consistently allowing him to find open ice to use a nice shot with a quick release."

Mike Morreale - NHL.com - February 21st: "Now in his third OHL season, the 18-year-old offers plenty of speed as a high-end playmaker."
