2014-15 Ilves Tampere FIN 42 5 12 17 10 8
Scouting notes:
Roope Hintz is an all-around foward. He has a good vision and an outstanding stickhandling ability. He got a decent positioning and can puts some hits when needed, but he won't do it often even with his 6'2'' size. He is a good skater with already some leadership ability. On the middle, he is a decent faceoff man. He is a durable skater and isn't often injured.Roope will probably start the next year with Ilves Tampere next year. He should be a top 9 foward in the future.

2013-14 Seattle Thunderbirds WHL 59 18 24 42 22 -5
2014-15 Seattle Thunderbirds WHL 67 30 28 58 44 9
Scouting notes:
Ryan is a Power foward winger. He has a good shot, decent playmaking ability and good stickhandling. With his 6'2'' size, he loves to throw some great bodycheck to take the puck from his opponents. He is good on checking and have a decent positionning on the ice. Even if he is a power foward, Gropp won't go often in the penality box. He will have to work on being constant, but this is almost the only point to work on his game. He will probably start the year with our farm club. He should be a top 9 forward in the future.

Scouting notes:
Denis is a Sniper. He can scores from everywhere on the ice. He is Russian but he told our scout he wants to play in the NHL in the future. He has also a great positionning and he is a very good skater. The fact that he has a good hitting ability is a plus for his style of play. Like Roope Hintz, he is not often injured and is constant for a Russian guy. He will play in the KHL next year with Lada Togliatti. He should be a top 9 foward in the future.

The scouting staff was suprised to see that Wotherspoon was still available at the 84th pick. We didn't hesite to pick him. Parker is a defensive d-man.
