Detroit Red Wings Draft: Scouting Colin White

Name of Player: Colin White

Position: Center

Height: 6’0″ Weight: 183lbs

Draft Combine Notables: White finished 8th and 6th in the standing long jump and vertical jump respectively, but where he really shone was in the pro-agility test, finishing 1st in both left and right categories.

Why You Draft Him: Eliteprospects.com describes White as solid two-way player with good puck possession and good presence on the ice. A statement backed up by his combine scores. White might not melt the ice like Jack Eichel or Connor McDavid, but he’s a dependable forward who can play in the center or on the right wing.
