JP Hurlbert's Player Profile

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - December 10th: "He's very creative as a puck handler and passer while also having a good shot. With the puck, he looks like an NHL player, but his effort level and speed are average and will be minor concerns for teams projecting a winger with his frame to the top level"

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - December 1st: "Hurlbert is thriving with the Blazers, being deployed in all situations, and contributing 20G-28A in his first 27 games, which leads the WHL in scoring. I’m monitoring Hurlbert’s skating and looking for him to add more explosiveness as he matures, but his puck touch and overall impact speaks for itself."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - November 19th: "He’s so skilled, smart and moves well, and it might be enough to earn him CHL MVP honors. There might not be a player I’d trust more in a shootout in this draft class than Hurlbert."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - November 19th: "Continues to produce at an elite level and is still leading the WHL in scoring. No doubt Hurlbert will be highly motivated to perform well at the CHL/USA Prospects Challenge, where he will get a chance to compete against his former USNTDP teammates."

Smaht Schouting - November 9th: "His best shifts include puck skill and play creation, being defensively engaged in his center role, and driving transition especially over the offensive blue line. However, he has a few shifts every game where he lazily chips the puck out of the defensive zone or blindly throws pucks to the front of the net."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - Nov. 5th: "He has work to do in the faceoff circle, and that, combined with his sub-6-foot size, may result in him being viewed as more of a winger, but he has chipped in on the PK with the Blazers, is already wearing a letter, and has some quiet jam to go with his skill. And while his feet can kick a little through his stride, he plays with pace and has made plays with the puck all over the ice."
