Armed with a variety of releases and a willingness to improve his shot location at all costs, Klassen’s shooting ability is a projectable NHL skill. A consistent defensive presence, Klassen’s always a nuisance on the backcheck and the defensive zone. He scans for threats, ties up his check at the right time, reads passing lanes, and supports down low. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
