Dach’s one of the better shooters in the draft from a mechanical standpoint. He pushes hands in front of body, lifts the top arm elbow to his shoulder or higher, and creates distance between his feet despite skating limitations to generate downward force. He uses his condor-like wingspan to reach around sticks (hook pass) or pull the puck in and pass under them (slip pass). -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
