An absolute nuisance in the defensive zone, Milne scans off-puck for threats and closes with force as plays develop, always taking that extra stride to make contact where others lunge with their stick from a glide. The motor never stops running with this player, making him an absolute force on retrievals, too -- this also applies on the forecheck. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
