Kaiser's speed, edge work, and ability to maneuver in tight spaces offer him a great deal of escapability under pressure. He's one of the rare defenders in this year's draft that can make forecheckers look like they're skating in quicksand. Has a sophisticated understanding of bank passes; he uses angles expertly. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
