Buckberger is a crafty-blueliner who creates by outthinking the opposition. Instead of rushing the net, he stays inside space, making smaller movements to ensure he's a passing option. He tricks opponents with head fakes and lateral movement, faking shots and passes before doing the inverse. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
