NHL Director of Central Scouting, E.J. McGuire

Strengths: "Jordan is a slippery scorer with great hands. He has NHL hands and the skating to get him into good shooting position. Jordan is an up-and-down the wing 'tease' in the sense that sometimes he'll look like he's just going up and down the wing and you have him slotted as a checker and then he'll cut in off the wing and use that shot to put his team up by a goal."

 

Areas to improve: "He needs to improve a little bit on his consistency, in that sometimes his up and down game gets too frequent and he has to learn that all his good skills can't be hidden – he has to use them more often."

 

Regina Pats head coach Curtis Hunt

"He has pure skill, is a gifted scorer, and will compete in tough areas to get it done."

 

Regina Pats assistant coach Terry Perkins

"He's our No. 1 sniper. He's a very gifted puck handler and has great finish around the net.  I think he's got a lot better playing both ways. He was fortunate last year to have played with older guys and this season he's become one of the older guys. He plays in all situations because he's learning to play better defensively and he's still getting the points."
