Leo Carlsson

The foundation on which his game rests is his sense. Carlsson’s ability to register gaps in defensive coverage, recognize passing options, keep pace with offensive and defensive rotations, and manipulate opponents to his whims makes him a constant threat. He’s not afraid to drive the inside, either. Carlsson practically lives there at times, working a high off-puck pace and a willingness to doll out and take physical punishment to get around the goalmouth, where all the fun stuff happens. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
