Scouting report
NHL teams are going to love Aitcheson because he plays with a serious swagger. He defends his teammates, he’ll flatten opponents with heavy hits and, oh, he can score a little, too.
After a big goal or fight, he likes to play to the crowd.
“He’s one of my favorite players in this draft class,” Dan Marr, the vice president of NHL Central Scouting, said June 11 in a phone interview with NBC Sports Philadelphia. “We moved him up to make a statement on our final list. This guy could end up being a trophy winner down the road.”
