Tomas Chrenko's Player Profile

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - December 8th: "Chrenko is a very solid playmaker, focused on funnelling pucks to the slot. He throws his weight around a bit and plays hard in the corners. He does a lot of what you'd like to see from a center at the next level."

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - December 1st: "Chrenko is a darting, undersized forward who’s playing pro in Slovakia. He’s difficult to check. He has the ability to escape pressure and make plays in small areas, and has produced 4G-11A in 23 games. All of his ice time comes at even strength and the power play."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - November 19th: "He’s a high-shot generator who decimated the Slovak U-20 league last year. I expect Chrenko to play a big role at the World Juniors, especially if given the power-play responsibilities previously held by Dalibor Dvorsky."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - November 19th: "Has a nifty set of hands that he’s not afraid to show-off despite playing in the highest men’s league in Slovakia. His puck handles are silky smooth and he definitely has some finish to his game. He has to be respected as a dual threat option on offence."

Smaht Schouting - November 9th: "His straight line skating speed is only pretty good for a player his size, but his ability to quickly shift direction on his edges is where his skating stands out. He’s got some pretty good pucks skills that he uses to challenge defenders 1-on-1, and has a quick release that he’s able to get a lot of power behind while skating in-motion."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - Nov. 5th: "He has some deception on the puck in both his handling and his quick release. He's smart and gets open, but can also use his good hands to play through holes and get pucks to open linemates. He's a natural center who plays in the center of the ice and will take or make a hit to make a play."
