A puck-moving defenseman, Almquist has top-notch hockey sense and passing ability. Has the ability to turn the game quickly with long and distinct passes. Puts up a lot of points from the blueline, where his set-up ability comes in handy.

However, Almquist could seek to improve his mobility. Although being undersized, he likes to play the body at times, but his game would improve with better size and strength.
