Tommy Barlow is seems to be an all around great right winger for the Detroit Falcons. In baseball, you have "5 tool prospects" and Barlow seems to be pretty close to the hockey equivalent of that. He can hit, skate, pass, shoot, and defend with relative ease and it makes him one of the most effective players in the SMJHL. His checking is rated at a 76 which, combined with his impressive size at 6'5", 280 pounds, makes him an extremely intimidating force on the ice. It's easily his most impressive stat, but you would expect a guy that is built like a house to throw his weight around. HIs next best attribute is his passing, which is rated at a 70. For a man his size to have the vision he does makes him all the more dangerous on the ice. Defenders won't go after him so he has all the time and space he needs to thread the needle and make perfect passes in the offensive zone. Finally, his skating, which is rated at a 65. For such a large man, he can move rather deftly. He doesn't seem to have any issues keeping up with even the fastest players in the SMJHL and it also helps get him in position to lay crushing body checks.
