His hands and skating are very clean. Hip pocket handling, exploding into gaps, transitioning constantly. Motew defends 1-on-1 situations relatively well, especially off the rush where he matches the speed of attackers and forces them to dump the puck before the blue line. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
