MALCOLM SPENCE SCOUTING REPORT | Guaranteed NHLer with Offensive Versatility

MALCOLM SPENCE SCOUTING REPORT | Guaranteed NHLer with Offensive Versatility

Author: Locked On Podcast Network, Sebastian High, Hadi Kalakeche June 1, 2025 Duration: 24:38

In this episode, we continue our Prospect Spotlight series, in which we take a full episode deep dive on a single draft-eligible prospect, today's focus: Malcolm Spence, a mature, hard-working winger who can score, create, and play hard defensively. First, we introduce the player with his profile, statistical production, and his tools: shooting, passing, handling, skating, and physicality. Next, we shift our attention to his toolkit and habits, for which we take out the tactics board. Last, we discuss Spence's projection at the NHL level, where he might fall on draft day, and some NHL player comparisons.

 

 

 

 

Elite Prospects' tool projection scale goes from 1 to 9:

1 - Below AHL Caliber Tool

2 - AHL Caliber Tool

3 - Replacement-Level Tool

4 - Average 4th line/#6 Defenceman Tool

5 - Average 3rd line/#4 Defenseman Tool

6 - Standard Top-6/Top-4 Tool

7 - Standard Top Line/Pairing Tool (Nick Suzuki's hockey sense)

8 - Game-Breaking Tool (Quinn Hughes' passing)

9 - Top-of-the-Line Elite-Level Tool (Bedard's shot or McDavid's skating)

(note: we try to balance upside and likelihood of reaching it in our evaluations)
