Elton Hermansson's Player Profile

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - April 14th: "His game away from the puck is just “OK” at best. It feels like he isn’t as impactful as he needs to be when he’s not piling shots on net. I want to see some more urgency when attacking opponents to regain possession."

Will Scouch - Scouching.ca - April 13th: "His transition game is exceptional at the HockeyAllsvenskan level, and on paper he might be one of the best passers through the neutral zone that I’ve tracked to this point. He’s a tremendous player when you look at the fundamentals, and while his defensive game is a question almost all-around, it isn’t so behind his offensive game that everything becomes problematic."

Dauton Reimer - The Hockey Writers - March 25th: "He isn’t the most physical player, but he isn’t afraid to use his 6-foot-1 frame to push a player against the boards. I am concerned about his lack of intensity, but if he finds himself in the right system, he could become an incredibly dangerous player in the NHL."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - March 17th: "He’s a right shot, but he has played a lot of both wings, and he impresses with his individual stick skill. He’s not the most well-rounded or defensively responsible winger, but he’s talented with the puck in his hands and a threat inside the offensive zone. He wants to go out there and make plays and score goals, and he can beat guys one-on-one with his hands."

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - March 17th: "Hermansson is creative off the rush and a crafty playmaker from the weakside flank with the man advantage. He’s quick to space and displays an extra gear off the rush. Hermansson is wiry and hard to check. He has loads of room to add more strength to his frame as he matures."

Peter Baracchini - The Hockey Writers - March 10th: "He has a powerful one-timer and can also display his playmaking abilities, spotting seams and passing lanes to connect with his teammates. He attacks intently using the combination of speed and puck-control in high-traffic areas to always get the inside track on defenders."

Smaht Scouting - February 27th: "I think the playmaking potential with him may go under the radar, but still, the goal-scoring remains his biggest offensive threat: he does a great job off-puck of floating into scoring areas and being a consistent option, and he can certainly rip a puck once it comes to him. He forechecks well, and he’s not physically matured yet, but he already uses his physicality in smart ways that will become more and more effective as he gets stronger."

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - February 23rd: "The issue is that while his upside is high, he has a lot of areas off the puck to develop before he makes it to the NHL. He's a skilled forward who could be great if he takes his development seriously and ends up in a situation that allows his strengths to thrive."
