Reschny is coming off an outstanding showing at the U-18 World Championship. He didn’t start the tournament on time, but he was a big reason why Canada won gold. Reschny’s ability to produce no matter the situation makes him so intriguing. He’s not huge, but he makes up for it with explosive speed and elusiveness, making him a tough player to contain on the rush. He’s an outstanding playmaker, maybe one of the best in this class. Reschny’s competitive nature will take him far, and he has proven internationally he can be an offensive catalyst with other high-end prospects.

Drawing comparisons to former WHLer Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Reschny plays a game catered to the playmaking side of things.

Equipped with one of the higher IQs in the draft, he’s constantly scanning the ice, looking for his next lane to provide a quick thread. With the pass in mind, he often jumps ahead to make the play that few see, threading quick one-touches, cross-ice tap-ins or cheeky no-looks from behind the goal line.

His ability to find the right pass is at the top of this class, and that’s evidenced by his 66 assists (sixth in the WHL). He’s patient with the puck and doesn’t force the issue when it comes to his plays. With soft hands, terrific vision and a calmness to his game, he elevates the play of his linemates.
