Talent Analysis
Condra is a smart playmaking forward who is excellent around the net and along the boards. One attribute that makes Condra such a great player is his ability to find and get pucks to his teammates. He utilizes his teammates very effectively and has excellent on-ice vision allowing thread the needle with crisp passes through tight lanes. Condra is a crafty playmaker who shows tremendous patience with the puck as well as poised and confidence. He is an outstanding skater with speed and quickness who also works and competes hard. His intensity combined with being strong on his skates, makes Condra a very difficult player for opposing defenders to contain. He is opportunistic and is willing to go into high traffic areas to make plays. While Condra is not an overly physical player, he’s not one to back down when challenged. Although he has shown strong two-way play statistically with excellent plus/minus ratings throughout his career, Condra still needs to improve his defensive habits before embarking on a pro career.
Future
At the NHL level, Condra could become a feisty speedster who is dangerous and difficult to contain. Bulking up and increasing his overall strength will obviously go a long way in helping him become an NHL player in the future.
