Riley Kidney Facts

Drafted: 2021 round 2 #63 overall by Montréal Canadiens
Agency: Premium

The winger’s tools, especially his puck-handling abilities, and his offensive habits -- the way he attacks at a high pace, scans before getting the puck, and receives every one of them in motion -- kept us watching over the course of the season. He has real problem-solving skills; you see him bounce the puck off his skates and instantly dangle through defenders. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
