Jordan Dumais is a clever winger who reads and reacts to situations as they develop and is a bit of an opportunist. He sees the ice well and utilizes his vision to be a dual threat as both a playmaker and a shooter. He has great offensive instincts and can find linemates as they drive to the net, but also shows off a smooth set of hands, making him elusive in tight spaces where he is able to escape pressure or make plays with a defender right in his face. His skating wouldn’t be considered dynamic and he does lack some of the quickness that you might look for in an attack-minded player, but he is able to get into open ice, drive through or around opponents, and make up for not having the additional burst of speed with timing and quick decisions. As a shooter, he can find lanes and get pucks through to the net. He rolls off pressure, has both a really good stationary and in-stride release, and while he can get pucks on net from a distance, he’s more of a threat from mid-range or while crashing toward the crease. Although he might be considered a bit undersized, he is as competitive as they come. He jumps on rebounds, battles all over the ice, and gets his stick into lanes to disrupt plays and steal pucks. Improving his foot-speed will no doubt be part of his future development plan but, even without that element his offensive instincts in combination with good defensive play and his willingness to compete in all three zones, should make him an intriguing early round draft target. At the NHL level, Dumais projects as a third-line winger with the intelligence to play higher in the lineup in the right circumstances, and that’s not necessarily a versatility a lot of players have further down the draft charts.
