Talent Analysis
With a tremendous amount of ability and skill, Porter has continued to transform into on of the top two-way players in the nation. He’s a top-six forward in the collegiate level, who may be able to make an equal transition as a pro. He has good hands, great vision and a great flow to his game. He can find ways to score, but does a better job setting up his linemates. He is a confident player, makes good decisions and has a solid work ethic.
Future
He has the hockey intelligence to make it to the NHL. He's a strong two-way player who would initially see time in the AHL before getting third or fourth line minutes with the Coyotes.
