Overview
Brayden Point was part of Team Canada's gold medal team at the 2013 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament scoring four points in five games. As a smaller forward, Point models his game after Buffalo Sabres forward Tyler Ennis.
He scored 91 points as the Warriors leading scorer, 36 points more than his next closest teammate. After a wonderful season, Point is the ultimate teammate. "Personally I had a really good season, but obviously I would have liked a few more wins and more team success." An emphasis on the team, no selfishness, excellent. Don Cherry will love that.
Point has shown a steady improvement with time as his second full season with the Warriors was a huge success.
In the midst of a stellar season, Point was snubbed by the CHL Top Prospects Game and later named to the team as an injury replacement.
As a player who has to use his smaller size to his advantage by using his speed, he would fit right in with the Montreal Canadiens (sorry), or the Calgary Flames.
Pro Comparison
Brian Gionta, Martin St. Louis, Tyler Ennis
Scouts are saying
Also from WHL, may be the small player I rate much higher than he'll be picked, Brayden Point, currently outscoring Virtanen and Bleackley.
