Eric Cornel

He most certainly will be spending another year in juniors...

Cornel worked hard to improve his defensive game from his rookie season where he looked completely lost in his own zone. He did become better at playing the body, and at helping his defence in containing the cycle game. However he still has some issues with keeping his feet moving and with basic positioning. Its certainly something that can be learned, and Cornel should get there given the improvements he showed offensively and defensively this year, he has shown that he is coachable, and willing to work hard to improve his game.
Eric Cornel’s game is reminiscent of Mark Schiefele of the Winnipeg Jets. This is a style comparison and not a talent one though. He still is very raw, and with continued improvement he could become a very good top six centre. However he is a bit of a project, and he will need quite some time and development before he is ready for the next level.

Appears hardworking, unspectacular. Often times in hockey it's all about working hard to put yourself in the right place at the right time in front of the net. From that video, that looks like his game. And he doesn't seem to miss the net, so the accuracy is a plus. He doesn't lose focus on the rush and seems to be aware of where his teammates are. Another big plus. He does look raw, but also looks like he has some skills to work with.

All that from a highlight reel? Impressive.

Better than saying "EJ Manuel sucks." But I can see that too.

potential top 6 center is all i need to hear to be on board.
