Ryan Roobroeck's Player Profile

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - April 14th: "But for a guy his size, he often lacks the intensity required to be a true difference-maker. Few players with Roobroeck’s level of talent fall asleep as frequently on plays, and it’s a shame. At the very least, Roobroeck should be able to excel on the power play, and he’s good as a net-front presence."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - March 17th: "Roobroeck doesn’t play a physical or imposing game for a player his size, and needs to move his feet and engage more. He’s got real skill and feel on the puck and an NHL-grade shot that regularly beats goalies from mid-range, and at his size, that gives him first-round relevance despite his warts."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - March 13th: "Would they go high on one of the fastest-falling prospects in the game? Roobroeck has probably stabilized himself as a late first-round pick. But some less-than-stellar spotlight showings, mixed in with some questionable play away from the puck, has left scouts worried."

Peter Baracchini - The Hockey Writers - March 10th: "The concerns have to do with his inability to take control and dominate in games like he previously did. When he’s at his best, he can be a big difference maker as a shooting threat. The combination of his size, hands and goal scoring abilities really shines, but the lack of consistency and engagement continues to be a problem as it differs from game to game."

Smaht Scouting - February 27th: "Roobroeck is a difficult player to project as the production results are good but his microstats and qualitative viewings show a lack of translation to the NHL, as the pace and overall engagement level lag well behind what you want from a player with his size. He isn’t a particularly skilled puck carrier and struggles to generate clean zone entries, with clunky acceleration and poor stop-start ability along the wall hurting his effectiveness in transition."
