Scouting Report
Genborg is a ferocious forechecker who creates a lot of his offense off of disruption and going hard to the net. He is a hustler on the ice and plays a physical game that is suited for a bottom-six player projection. What holds back Genborg is a limited offensive skill set, raw abilities, and handling the puck. His game might not fit into today’s NHL of speed and skill. However, he is an intriguing pick because of his mature physical style and ability to win puck battles.
