Luca Cunti is a creative offensive pivot with very good playmaking abilities. He possesses soft hands with excellent puck-handling and puck-control. Cunti is a smooth skater, with decent acceleration and top-end speed. He lacks strength to stand his ground and can easily be pushed of the puck or held back in front of the net. Has only average shooting skills and despite his talents he needs to improve his faceoff-game. Combined with a quality shooter, Cunti can dominate the offensive side of a game.
