Roger McQueen's Player Profile

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - January 28th: "He has game-breaking ability with the puck and can dominate a game. He's extremely talented as a puckhandler, but he can also generate offense around the net and doesn’t shy from physical play."

Ryan Kennedy - The Hockey News - January 27th: "Consider this a holding pattern spot for McQueen, who has been sidelined by a suspected back injury most of the year. At the end of the day, when healthy, he's a towering center who can produce in bunches."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - January 22nd: "There is a cautionary tale here based on what we saw last year with Cayden Lindstrom going fourth to Columbus. With everyone else healthy and playing, it’s hard to use eight early-season games and a good draft minus-one season to project McQueen over the group ahead of him."

Hannah Stuart - Bleacher Report - January 20th: "His only real drawback for us is his skating mechanics; everything else, like his tenacity, hockey IQ, and puck skills, have us convinced that his offensive potential is the real deal. He feels very worth taking a swing on this high (No. 6), depending on who's left on the board."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - January 16th: "McQueen hasn’t played since October, but scouts still are excited about him. That’s because he blends a unique mix of size, playmaking, hockey sense, and an outstanding shot – he was scoring at a point-per-game pace before his injury."

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - Dec. 17th: "McQueen has a size and skill combination that is incredibly attractive, but his pace is quite low, and his skating needs quite a bit of work. There are a number of times throughout the early season in which McQueen worked the puck up ice by dangling defenders and using his reach and hands to evade pressure, but his feet were generally stationary or not building speed throughout the process."

Smaht Scouting - Dec. 10th: "Watch his highlight reels and marvel at his ability to deke defencemen and spin them around, doing it all in tight to his body, despite his massive frame; look at his elite instinct to get to goal-scoring positions undetected; and of course, he can use his enormous frame and size to play physically. That said, the big question is whether he can put all of his tools together and do it on a consistent basis."

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - Dec. 3rd: "When healthy, McQueen's combination of size and skill is intriguing. He’s a solid skater for his stature. McQueen can push the play in the neutral zone and drive opponents off their blue line in the process."
