Persson’s hockey sense is his best attribute. The Frölunda forward consistently displays an understanding of positioning and spacing on the ice and of how to open up gaps in the opposing coverage with his skating, especially off of the rush. He’s also an effective playmaker, using manipulation in the form of look-offs and body feints to open up passing lanes to find his teammates. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
