Trent Swick

There's been plenty mentioned about the viability of Trent Swick as an NHL player. He stands at 6'7" and would be the forward version of Nicolas Hague. A big body that moves quickly for his size is a boon, especially for NHL teams that emphasize this trait. The Vegas Golden Knights are firm believers in this practice, whether with Hague, Swick, or Artur Cholach.

Last season, he had a breakout season with the Kitchener Rangers, making himself a household name in the OHL. The winger scored 25 goals and 37 assists in 63 games, giving the Rangers a bite offensively. That's even more promising for a Golden Knights team needing scoring depth in the farm system.

Swick is the type of player who needs time to develop. Before his breakout season with Kitchener in 2023-24, he scored 13 goals and 11 assists in his first two seasons with the team. The Rookie Camp is a good start for the prospect, where he can continue his ascension in the hockey scene. Here, he can impress the brass and become a reliable name for the Golden Knights, especially with his physical gifts.
