Glass finished sixth in the final rankings among North American skaters, two slots higher than his midterm showing, according to NHL Central Scouting. He is a right-shot center who can line up at all three forward positions, but is at his best as the pivot given his up-tempo style.
"He has good hands and playmaking ability with a style of play that has been compared to Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron," writes Mike G. Morreale of NHL.com.
