Chicago obtained Hillis in a trade with Montreal on Wednesday in exchange for defenseman Nicolas Beaudin.
Scouting Report
His low center of gravity helps him win board battles that he is expected to lose. It is also a factor in his excellent skating ability. Works hard and can be used in all game situations. Does not own elite puck skills, so he may be reduced to a bottom-six forward role in the professional ranks. Will need to gain greater upper-body strength and fill out his frame.
Long Range Potential: Solid, versatile forward with upside.
