Hayden Verbeek is an interesting prospect within the Montreal Canadiens organization. He has speed for days and relentless hustle on the ice, but without major scoring prowess to his name for most of his CHL career. This carried over into his first professional season with the Laval Rocket as well.
There were flashes of great skill, and also a honey badger mentality that always had him involved in the play in all three zones. His spectacular pace keeps opposing teams on their toes, and makes him an ideal player to kill penalties; similar to Paul Byron early in his NHL career.
