Talent Analysis

A dynamic scoring forward who is infamous for his highlight-reel shootout goals, Jurco is far from a one-trick pony. Displaying a willingness to drive to the net, he looks at times closer to a power forward than a pure sniper. With game-breaking ability, the question is whether the Slovakian can put it all together. His hands are incredible, but he needs to round out his game and show more consistency in his effort.


Future

Jurco continues to project as a high scoring top-six talent. A better understanding of how his talent will develop should come this season, as he will make the jump to the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins in 2012-13.
