NHL Rights: Buffalo Sabres / Signed
Drafted: 2021 round 2 #34 overall by Anaheim Ducks
Agency: Premium

His posture is nearly perfect, with his hips tilted back, his chest over his knees, and the right shin angle. He collects passes and sends them in motion. He uses the dotted line through the neutral zone. And he even works in a little bit of deception from time to time to keep his opponents off-balance. He’ll immediately recognize any opportunity to lead the rush and take it. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide

Brothers: Justin Zellweger, Kyle Zellweger

Mobility’s the biggest selling point, leveraging explosiveness to choke out attacks in the neutral zone, join the rush
