NHL Director of Central Scouting, E.J. McGuire

Outlook: "Daultan is a wonderful surprise who comes out of the St. Catharines Falcons program that never before has produced an NHL draft pick. There has been a lot of interest in him this year and he has performed well in front of NHL scouts such that he may well not be around by the third round selections."

Strengths: "He is a small, skilled quarterback on the power-play type player who might be a candidate at any hockey school as the example "how to skate" player; he is a great, fast form skater. He almost single handedly took the St. Catharines Falcons further than a lot of teams would have expected.

Areas to improve: Because he was depended on by his team to be such an offensive contributor, it stands to reason that his defensive side of the game needs to improve. Yet, he effectively killed penalties and his skating and skills would lead me to believe that as he makes the next step towards Michigan State, he’ll continue to improve that part of his game with good coaching and experience.
