Axel Rindell Facts

Player Type: Offensive DefensemanPuck-Moving Defenseman
Drafted: 2020 round 6 #177 overall by Toronto Maple Leafs
Agency: Premium

He's developed into a legitimate dual-threat offensive driver from the blue line. Rindell is easily an above-average shooter from the point, one that must be taken seriously as he quarterbacks the power play. He has a good one-timer, a deceptive wrist shot, and is good at creating shooting lanes for himself with fakes. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
