Rating and identifying the strengths and weaknesses of players in different sets of specific skills is the heart of scouting.

Some want fast players, others wants smart ones, and others want a guy who is going to win board battles.

    Sprong at #1 for best shot is certainly questionable.

    I've seen him play numerous times in Halifax and while he's a quick skater and likes the one timers, I find it hard to believe that he is the best shot in this draft class.

    Zacha, Svechnikov, Rantanen, hell even Bittner have better shots than Sprong.
