Talent Analysis
Porter is a player with good size who plays with a bit of edginess. He is very good around the net and along the boards. Porter is a fierce battler who can grind things out. He can usually be found creating havoc in front of opposing goaltenders, looking for tip-ins or getting the “garbage” goals. He is a good skater with decent acceleration. He possesses a good, quick release along with a long reach. While he has shown that he can be defensively responsible, it is an area where he could use some improvement in. Porter doesn’t shy away from the physical aspects of the game and can lay some heavy checks on opposing players. One of Porter’s most noticeable weaknesses is he can be moved off the puck rather easily and it’s an area that will need to be improved to be successful at the professional level.
