The foundation of Kulonummi's game is his skating stride. He's a contemporary do-everything defenceman who uses that tool to make plays at every corner of the ice, settling comfortably into his forward stride and flashing four-way mobility to evade opponents in transition and at the offensive blue line. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
