It's Edwards skating and high activity rate that informs so much of his value. He's so aggressive carrying the puck up-ice in transition, and he tirelessly works to support the puck in the offensive zone. The same is true of the way that Edwards defends, whether it's in the neutral zone or defensive zone, he closes in on puck-carriers and plays with decisiveness. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
