2016 NHL Draft Profiles: Erie Otters' Alex DeBrincat - Little And Lethal

Watching Alex DeBrincat play hockey, you'd think he was put on earth to do one thing, and one thing only. And that thing is score goals.

Lots of them.

The little American from Farmington Hills, Michigan is one of the most lethal goalscorers the NHL draft has seen for a long, long time. He has a vicious shot, killer speed, great positional sense and plays with the kind of edge that doesn't see him back down from anyone.

The problem for him is that he does all this in a package that measures only 5'7 and 160lbs, in his draft year, with no real prospect of it getting much bigger.
