Scouting Notes

Note By Zachary DeVine · Game: Dec 28, 2015 · Canada vs. Denmark (WJC 2016) · Stream #0
Barzal again, this time with a very patient play to go with a wicked snap shot over the glove of the Danish goalie. powerplay goal assisted by Chabot and Hicketts.

Barzal's skating is excellent.
Note By Zachary DeVine · Game: Feb 14, 2016 · Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) · Live #0
Barzal's skating is shifty. Royals are trying hard to get a body on him and it’s not going as well as planned.

Barzel is buzzing this period, matches well with Chartier
Summary By Zachary DeVine · Game: Feb 14, 2016 · Victoria vs Seattle (WHL) · Live #0
I have watched Barzal quite a bit, and his consistency is amazing. He brings it every game, and you know what you get: a hard, smooth-skating center with vision, puck skills and drive. His teammates would force feed him the puck at times, but more often than not, he got something done with the puck even if the Royals knew who the puck was going to. Impressive player, can’t wait to see him in the NHL.

Canada’s 14-13-21 line is buzzing. playing hard and shooting, cycling, doing it all. Why aren’t the other three lines playing like this? Isn’t this the 3rd line?

Barzal is the 6th skater, can’t believe he was almost left at home.
Note By Zachary DeVine · Game: Dec 29, 2015 · Switzerland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) · Stream #0
Barzal continues to be a force for the Canadians. Last forward added and easily one of the top 3 forwards on the squad in terms of performance.
Note By Zachary DeVine · Game: Jan 2, 2016 · Finland vs. Canada (WJC 2016) · Stream #0
Barzal has been the best Canadian player in the tournament.

Barzal making things happen again. Love his motor and compete level.

Barzal playing heavy on defense, as well. Leans in and swipes the puck at the 13 minutes mark with Swiss pressing.

Barzal loses the puck at the blue line trying a bit too much.

Barzal moving well. Side steps the big hits. Hicketts went to line him up and missed.
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Feb 24, 2017 · Seattle vs. Tri-City (WHL) · Video (with replay) #0
Cuts through the offensive zone with complete ease. Great on his feet.
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Feb 24, 2017 · Seattle vs. Tri-City (WHL) · Video (with replay) #0
Really quiet game. Down by five goals, I want to more energy from him
Summary By Brian Fogarty · Game: Feb 25, 2017 · Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) · Video (with replay) #0
Fast, agile, always has his head up. He was far and away the most talented player on the ice, but he seemed uninspired and disinterested in the game. Disappointed in him this viewing.
