Let's learn about Sloan Stanick, shall we?

Sloan Stanick is similar to Jonathan Marchessault in many ways. Both play the left wing and were undrafted, hoping to make their NHL dreams come true. Both also share a connection with the Vegas Golden Knights, with Stanick being a prospect and Marchessault being, you know, a Conn Smythe Trophy winner and holder of various franchise records.

However, that's where the similarities stop. The native of Brandon, Manitoba, is a taller body than the "Original Misfit," standing at 6'0". He also has an impressive pedigree with the Prince Albert Raiders, scoring 61 goals and 87 assists in the past two seasons. He's a playmaker who sees the play unfold and makes necessary judgments on the ice.

Sloan Stanick is also a terrific shooter from a range, whether it's the middle or the point. His shot has some bite to it, making him a scoring threat at every juncture. While he might be slightly different from Jonathan Marchessault in some respects, he has stark similarities with the iconic franchise winger. That includes his scoring acumen, where he can dominate from long-range.
