Talent Analysis

Kempe has  blazing speed and a willingness to crash the net with reckless abandon. In this way, he plays like someone with much bigger size, reminding some scouts of a young Mikael Renberg. In addition to his great wheels, he also possesses outstanding vision, strong passing skills and creativity in the offensive end. The drawbacks to his game at this point are his lack of an NHL-quality shot and an unrefined two-way game. Like many young players, he also has a good deal of filling out to do, which should come over time with proper training.
