Herman Träff

February 2024 – Träff may not play the flashiest style of hockey, but he’s fairly toolsy and learning how to make an impact via subtle details. He looks to go against the grain when pressured, especially in the neutral zone, and takes the extra beat of time junior hockey affords in order to deliberate on his options, rather than hastily rushing the first option he spots. He has shown flashes of a power game, creative problem-solving with his hands and strength, and a middle-driven mentality, but the consistency of these flashes would need to increase for us to rank him inside our top 64. Sebastian High
