Neutral Zone Scouting Report

"Skrastins is a highly skilled, offensive talent that was dominant with puck possession though he was not able to find the scoresheet. He had a game high 8 shots on target and 17 attempts at the net. Kristaps was consistently dangerous with the puck on his stick with his quick strike and ability to attack defenseman. He could beat you in a variety of ways with pace or his smooth, quick hands, pull up and shoot or find a linemate through traffic. At both ends of the ice, he plays a cerebral style and kills penalties as well as runs the powerplay. There is zero panic under pressure, and he can make things happen from nothing. He can generate chances on his own as he is creative to see through different options. Even without finding the back of the net, he played a confident game and was a threat every shift."
