Daniel Gee, a scout for Elite Prospects says that Alcos is a physical blueliner and is a 'fantastic mechanical skater'. He believes Alcos' upside would have him as a fourth or fifth defenceman in the National Hockey League one day.
"The #Canucks have selected Parker Alcos with the 198th pick. He's a 6-foot-3, right-shot defender.
I saw Alcos a few times live. He is a fantastic mechanical skater, and his rush defending is high-end. He is also physical, with some breakout flashes. 4-5 upside." Gee said.

Alcos, 17, appeared in 67 games for the Oil Kings last season, putting up 15 points (one goal, 14 assists), 29 penalty minutes and was a minus-seven. Expect Alcos to get a bigger role with the Edmonton Oil Kings next season and to play significant minutes on their blue line.
