Strengths

1. Lightning quick release on his wrist and snap shots, along with his abilities to change the angles of his shot with deceptive ease

3. Tremendous playmaker; instincts allow him to find teammates from anywhere on the ice in the offensive zone

Area’s For Improvement

1. Although Guenther is an solid skater, he doesn’t have game breaking speed, which is what today’s game is built around
2. He has a good frame but he needs to bulk up at least 10-15 lbs.

Scouting Report:

Dylan Guenther is highly skilled and an elite offensive talent; he is a well-rounded player that has very good puck skills that can set up and finish plays at a high level. Dylan possesses good size and strength but his skating is could be improved. He is a highly skilled player who understands where his teammates will be and reads plays very well. His shot is very good and aided but a quick release. Unlike many highly skilled offensive players, Guenther is not afraid to go to the dirty areas of the ice, thus he scores many “garbage goals”. Guenther was the Edmonton Oil Kings’ most dangerous player offensively in the second half of last season, playing well above a point per game and driving results as a shooter and rush creator who can weave through or past pressure to attack into his spots. Dylan Guenther should be a lock to be a top 10 pick in the 2021 draft.
