Draft Scouting Report: Rieger Lorenz

No, this isn’t just Steven Lorentz in a mustache and top hat calling himself Guy Incognito.

Rieger Lorenz is a strong forward and one that should be available when the Hurricanes pick with the 60th and 71st overall picks in the draft next week. The AJHL has produced a handful of really solid NHL players, most notably Cale Makar, who just won the Norris and Conn Smythe trophies.

Scouting Report

Lorenz is a big forward with a lot of strength, but what I’m most impressed with is his skating ability. He’s a quick skater that can bulldoze his way through the neutral zones and create zone entries on his own, which helps create extended zone time.
