Scouting the 2017 NHL draft: Don’t confuse Cody Glass for Tanner Glass

Cody Glass is an interesting prospect from the Portland Winterhawks of the WHL. At 6’2”, he’s got NHL height and reach. At 179 pounds, he’s probably 15-20 pounds lighter than he should be for his height. But that’s okay since he’s still just 18 years old. He has time to grow into his frame and put on the necessary bulk to stand up to the NHL game.

Glass isn’t an overly physical forward, preferring to use his stick and reach and a timely check to separate opponents from the puck. His skating stride is a bit funky and may need some work for him to become an NHL-level skater.
