Roger McQueen's Player Profile

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - March 26th: "He’s a giant of a man who has a presence. McQueen is equally adept at directing pucks on net, using his size and strength to shield opponents in the process, or extending plays and distributing the puck."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - March 25th: "As a player, I like his tenaciousness/willingness to go get pucks and then stick with them when he has them. He uses his linemates well. But it’s his ability to control and manipulate pucks in tight to his body, with his length, that I think distinguishes him and gets scouts excited."

Craig Button - TSN - March 25th: "He’s not a wild card because of his skill or his potential, he’s a wild card because of that type of injury,” said Button. “I feel really lucky because I’ve been able to watch him for three years and I’ve seen progression and how gifted he is."

Smaht Scouting - March 23rd: "He also has this incredible knack for always emerging from busy areas on the ice with the puck. You watch him call for passes with one or two bodies on him and yet he still has the stick speed and physicality to find the puck and give himself room."

Kareem Elshafey - FC Hockey - March 9th: "There’s an argument to be made that if McQueen had been healthy all year, he could have broken into that consistent top-four group of players. He was recently cleared and returned to game action on March 4. With the size, skill, and skating package that McQueen offers, the potential is off the charts if he reaches his ceiling."

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - February 28th: "McQueen is the ultimate swing in this draft class, and I've had conversations that range from "This kid is a top-five prospect in the class" to "The injury and holes in his game are a real concern." McQueen falls into the category of players who could be drafted well before I'd take them."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - February 26th: "Based on the latest update, McQueen’s return from injury is imminent and he’s back on the ice in a non-contact jersey. If healthy, there is a top 10 player in him."

Adam Kimelman - NHL.com - February 21st: "McQueen might be the most intriguing player in this draft class. He has NHL-ready size (6-5, 197) and checks every box a team would want in a potential franchise center."

Mike Morreale - NHL.com - February 21st: "There's a lot to like about McQueen, a right-shot center who has size, a big shot and deft scoring touch to complement an extremely good motor."
