May 2022 – George’s 23 points in 67 games for the London Knights might not stand out as impressive, but his profile is alluring for a team looking for solid two-way guys in the mid-second round. A technically refined skater with great off-puck habits, especially in his own zone, George has the smarts to absorb forecheckers and free up a teammate for an easy breakout while also showing an understanding of when to jump into the rush.
Although his puck skills themselves don’t pop (his shot is a bit fluttery and he tends to overshoot long passes at times), his usage of his tools and his ideas on the puck hint at an ability to process the game offensively which could translate if the tools themselves are worked on properly. At 6-foot-1 and 194 pounds, George has a solid frame as it is, and doesn’t look like he’s done maturing physically. He could become a Swiss-army knife blue-liner who can chip in on both special team units down the line and hold down a role on a team’s top-four fairly soon. Hadi Kalakeche
