Few prospects combine awareness and work rate like Finnie. Always
in the right place, he consistently influences the play even without
the puck.
A non-stop engine powers him up and down the rink, making up
space to poke away pucks on the backcheck and force turnovers
on the forecheck. He enters every battle with a couple of shoulder
checks to find options and has the skill to connect.
In spurts, Finnie showed NHL skill.
Finnie doesn’t have many dynamic qualities, lacking quickness, agility,
and handling skill. But more time in the weight room will certainly
help with skating, making him more effective in contact and faster to
loose pucks.
