Scouting Reports on 117th overall pick David Lewandowski:

“Lewandowski was excellent at the World Juniors, and I thought he was good in Texas. Albeit, I was hoping for a bit more offence – but his off-puck play was great, at least. He’s good around the net, using his muscle to outwork players and get into scoring lanes. The Saskatoon Blades forward feels like a future breakout candidate – someone who has the raw talent, but just needs to put it to use every single night. I like him a lot, and think he could be a decent mid-round pick.” – Daily Faceoff

“Lewandowski is a dominant puck protector who throws reverse hits and bulldozes contact. His shooting has been a constant threat across his career. He rips pucks off his outside leg and possesses a powerful catch-and-release shot that he leverages with higher-end precision. Even more impressive, his physical skills – puck protection, especially – are the most translatable aspects of his game.” -EliteProspects

“Lewandowski checks a lot of the boxes that NHL teams look for in a complementary winger. He competes, he creates, and he doesn’t hurt you defensively. His development curve is heading in the right direction. While he may lack standout explosiveness, he thinks the game at a high level, plays a mature game, and projects as someone who can help an NHL team win in a variety of ways if he continues to round out his physical tools.” – Neutral Zone
