Alex Gaffney Facts

Agency: Premium

Gaffney's battle level and willingness to fight for the puck in every situation is commendable. He's so engaged on the forecheck & backcheck, constantly hounding puck carries and applying direct pressure on opposing transitional plays. He can switch his stance quickly to pivot left & right on a dime. He supports the puck well and knows when to kick the puck to his teammates. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
