Quotable
"Cody Glass is one of the more exciting players in this draft class. He's got a real dynamic jump and speed to his game, and he plays the game at speed and pace. He's got quick hands, and he's a quick read and react. He's smart, and he can finish his chances." - Dan Marr, Director of NHL Central Scouting (

"He's a dynamic playmaker, who has the skill, size and IQ to be a significant scorer in the NHL. Glass' puck skills are very good, with the IQ and skill combo to create scoring chances out of nothing. He's very coordinated with the puck for a player his size, and he makes tough dekes seem easy. He's a smart playmaker who can make plays at a quick tempo and control the center third of the ice." - Corey Pronman, ESPN (
