Scouting Report
Kevan’s best attribute is his skating speed. Kevan is an offensively skilled player who can make plays with his speed and mobility, but his shooting percentage went down this season. Playing in the NCAA against good competition and with better linemates will give a better indication of Kevan’s true ability. The Fairfield, California native is an intriguing pick somewhere in the second or third round and could end up being a great value there.
