Vinzenz Rohrer is a goal-scoring forward who can effectively blend his high-motor with flashes of high-end skill. He has a lot of jump in his game, attacking with pace and putting defenders on their heels. He is great at attacking off the rush, using his speed and puck protection ability to drive the puck to high-danger areas and get himself into prime scoring positions. He lives in the high-traffic areas, and with his shot he has the ability to beat any goalie from in close. He has a quick, accurate release that gives him an advantage over goalies when he’s in the high slot. His playmaking is above-average, showing the ability to work the puck from below the goal line to the slot, regularly hitting teammates in their wheelhouse. Defensively, he uses his speed and reach to be an effective backchecker. His active stick allows him to intercept passes and with his speed he can quickly turn these turnovers into chances going the other way. He can play in all situations, but is most suited to play at five-on-five and on the power play. He has a raw, untapped potential that will take time to develop, but if a team shows the right amount of patience with him, he can make them look extremely smart. He improved immensely between the start of the OHL season and the end, becoming a key cog in his team’s offensive attack. He’s a toolsy player who hasn’t quite figured out how to mold all of his tools together to maximize the benefit of each. The faster he does, the sooner he will be able to make the jump to the NHL. He has the potential to be a second-line scoring forward and if he adds some strength behind his shot, Rohrer can become a trigger option for a team’s power play unit on top of the elements he already brings.
