Shane Vansaghi's Player Profile

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - June 10th: "He's a big, heavy winger who drives to the net. He doesn't shy away from physical play, either. Vansaghi's biggest issue is his foot speed. I've seen slower big guys, but he won't be able to separate at the NHL level. He projects as a middle six wing."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 2nd: "Vansaghi is a heavy, strong, powerful winger who plays with big boy pants on and can bully opponents. He has played a bottom-six role at both the NTDP and Michigan State, but has done it well and has driven into, past and over some college players this season."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - May 27th: "Vansaghi has exactly what you’re looking for from a bottom-six forward: he hits hard, brings energy, and never gives up on a play. We’ve seen him bounce all throughout the MSU lineup this year, and he has always found ways to produce."

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - May 12th: "He loves to drive to the inside, carry the puck through defenders to the net or pull pucks out of battles along the walls. He forechecks hard and plays heavy. Questions arise about his offensive skill, but Vansaghi always finds a way to generate chances thanks to his simple, effective game."

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - March 26th: "Murtagh is the kind of player NHL teams were searching for at the trade deadline this year. He’s a physical forward who makes himself noticeable with his relentless compete."

Smaht Scouting - March 23rd: "A strong skater and athlete, Murtagh pushes the pace with power and speed, attacking defenders head-on. His deceptive release and effective one-timer make him a scoring threat, and he competes hard, carrying pucks through traffic and absorbing contact well."
