Drew Commesso (4.5 Star Amateur Rating, NHL Grade — B-) Goalie
(Left Glove, G, 6’2 180, USA NTDP U18, ’02):
Commesso is a technically sound goalie who has great size, has smooth movements and has a very calm and composed demeanor in net that provides a wealth of confidence in the team in front of him. Commesso is a butterfly goalie who plays out on top of his crease, reads the play well and is very patient when challenging shooters. He made a great left pad extension save off of a 2v1 play where he really loaded up on his right leg and got a ton of power in his push across where he was square and in front of the shooter. Just made a great save look easy. He has very clean feet and does a great job of setting pucks for his defenseman, but he also is very aware, reads the forecheck well and can make quick and easy outlets for his defenseman too. Commesso has very good rebound control as he does a great job of absorbing pucks and not allowing second and third chances very often. He’s a goalie that fundamentally checks all the boxes and shows that in his case, less is more! Commesso is a very simple goalie that is always square to shooters, corrals his rebounds and gives his team a chance to win every single night. He’s a great prospect for NHL teams as he is smooth, poised and very confident in the net.
