Talent Analysis

Neuber is a big, physical forward who has the potential to be an enforcer at the NHL level. Outside of his ability to drop the gloves and take the body, however, Neuber does not have many strengths. His play in his own end is a weak point of his game and his skating and footspeed lacks quite a bit. If he's ever to crack an NHL roster, in order to not be a liability while he's on the ice, he'll have to improve in those areas.

Future

Neuber will turn pro this season, either assuming the enforcer role for the Springfield Falcons or playing a bigger role for Gwinnett of the ECHL.
