Barrett Hall

Puck skills define Hall’s game. He’s a dexterous handler, moving his top hand across his body while he handles, reaching out to bait the poke check, then quickly retracting the puck to evade. Tricky passes are no issue for him, as he kicks pucks skate-to-stick and deflects them through his legs without entering a glide. He masks his release with subtle angle changes, in-stride wristers, and quick stickhandles pre-shot. Backhand, slip, hook, and in-motion passes fill his arsenal, and when given a bit of space, he shows deception and even a delay game to find the trailer. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
