Hudson Fasching 7,0 D sur Hockeyfuture!SCOUTING REPORT: Fasching is a big budding power forward with some solid offensive tools to develop. He skates well with a bull like
quality once he builds up speed. Still, he has a hard time keeping up with smaller, speedy, agile forwards. He has slick hands and can
make some impressive moves for a big guy. He passes well too. Passes are often crisp, accurate and in good time. His shot is the strength
of his game though. He has a really strong wrister with pin-point accuracy. He shows the ability to absolutely snipe in close or shoot the
puck mid-stride when coming down the wing. He drives the net hard, either being there for a potential rebound or causing congestion in
front as well. Fasching possesses the body of a man-child but fails to play with enough aggressiveness or passion to take advantage of
it. He needs to use his size and strength to make a difference more often. He came into the season with a high profile but failed to live up
to the expectations of being a projected first round selection after his time tearing up Minnesota HS hockey. His intensity and desire have
some questions left unanswered. He could be a big body that lacks a true identity yet and could just take longer to develop than his peers.
He’s headed to the University of Minnesota next season.

He has good top end speed and the agility and ability
to turn on a dime, change angles on a defender and create space for himself. He has quick feet and is shifty, with quick
hands, either with the puck or shooting. He seems to be like a spark plug and is always moving. He creates something every
shift. The puck seems to be magnetized to his stick. He is so smooth and so shifty with the puck; amazing puck control.
Despite his size, he has the ability to protect the puck in traffic. He can also handle it well at top speed and is very creative
with the puck on his stick, especially when moving through traffic. He has good vision, but it is not his best asset. Petan
does see the ice very well and can make a pass on the backhand or the forehand. He can saucer the puck or make a bullet
pass through sticks and legs onto his teammates tape, but what really separates him is that he has the hockey sense and
patience with the puck that few possess, which allows him to not force things if he doesn’t see an open linemate or lane to
shoot but instead hold it for a few second longer when mot would panic. He definitely has goal scorers hands and can finish
in a variety of ways -- with a solid shot, good quick release and the grit to go to the net. Good deking ability allows him to
create space for himself to finish in traffic. He is extremely dangerous around the top of the circle. He attacks the offensive
zone with speed and energy to compensate for size. A smart player and it definitely shows when you watch him, especially
in the offensive zone, as he is great at timing when to be at spots on the ice to receive passes and finish plays. His smarts
also show because he’s a solid offensive player despite lacking size and strength. Petan doesn’t go out of his way to engage
a ton physically, but isn’t afraid of contact as he will finish his checks in the corners when he needs to, but doesn’t spending
time headhunting which is a good thing because he would get killed doing that at the NHL level. He rarely gets outmuscled
because he consistently dodges and evades and is always moving.

He has some serious skating issues that will need improvement and is the kind of skater that
just shows better all-encompassing mobility when he stays in constant motion. He has adequate
straight-line speed for a guy his size but his sluggish feet and long sweeping turns at slower
pace will need to be focused on this summer. He’s not the next Paul Coffey by any means, but
can handle the puck and carry it for short distances. He also possesses a very heavy slapshot.
He also rarely turns the puck over in his own zone as he uses his size, strength and reach to
keep it shielded from the forecheck. He has so much more strength than the majority of his opponents
he doesn’t really need to be ultra-aggressive to get the job done. Given his size, Diaby
needs to be a little nastier out there. He utilizes his massive size well to impede opponents and
eliminate them from the offensive play. He’s a project defender that will need to focus on his
skating but has some good reward potential if he does.
