A Look At Prospect Alex Turcotte

05/27/2019 at 9:48am EDT

from Corey Pronman of The Athletic,

Alex Turcotte has been considered an elite prospect for many years, dating back to his OHL Draft status, and he has done nothing but continue to succeed and prove he is among the best players in his age group.

Turcotte might not be the best passer in the draft like Trevor Zegras, the best skater like Jack Hughes or have the best shot like Cole Caufield, but what makes him my No. 3 prospect is his incredibly well-rounded game and ability to do everything at a high-end level. The son of former NHLer Alfie Turcotte projects as a star center in the NHL. Here is why.

Skating

I would not call Alex Turcotte’s speed the most dangerous in the draft, but he’s quite quick with an excellent first few steps.
