A self-described "give-and-go player," Evans is truly one of the draft’s best zone exit technicians. With improving shooting mechanics, he’s become far more confident hunting for twine himself, too. He even flashes delays to reset and find the trailer. A tight gap off-puck gaps eliminates his man entirely, while a suffocating on-puck gap kills entry-after-entry in the neutral zone. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
