SCOUTING REPORT · AI, FROM THE NUMBERS
The player.
WHO HE IS · LONG TERM
Jeffrey Viel isn't the guy lighting up the score sheet, but he's the sandpaper, the buzzsaw that throws the opposition off their game. He’s the player you notice when the play gets gritty, carving out his ice time in the trenches, and proving that even without highlight-reel points, there's immense value in a player who relentlessly disrupts and battles.
