Will Cuylle

Big framed winger who has added muscle and goes hard to the front and battle zones. Moves really well both straight line and laterally for a player his size, and possesses an accurate shot and quick release. Is a playmaker with a bullet of a shot. Plays a strong game in the greasy areas tipping in pucks, screening and applies pressure with is presence. A long strider who gets full extension and takes defenders aback with his jump. Wins battles on the boards and is good on the cycle. Surprises when he goes from the side areas to the front before he is noticed. Displays a major league shot. Needs to continue to work on his defensive side. Has the makings of a power wing after he improves his awareness and improves his distribution. Always willing to drop the gloves in defense of a teammate. He has a quick release, but needs work at reading the ice and creating more chances from what's given to him.
