Talent Analysis
Hörnqvist is an offensive player who may lack some foot speed… he has a good nose for the net and is always dangerous… he is willing to pay the price and goes to the dirty areas to dig for pucks… keeps it simple and lets his wrister off quickly… has good hockey sense and positioning in the offensive zone… is a solid puckhandler who has the ability to create space for himself… is weak and has to add leg- and upper body strength… has to work on his skating which is holding him back.
Future
Is NHL ready as a shooter and offensive player, but if he doesn’t improve his skating ability, he will end up spending the year in the AHL.
