Zach Bookman Facts
He spots his target, looks away, waits for the reaction, and then passes – almost every time. Just as impressive is his adherence to activation principles: moving through the pass reception and using space. Anticipation of exchanges and hand-offs, one time leading to a point-blank chance for a teammate. Circled the offensive zone with a bunch of backward crossovers before finding a teammate on the inside. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
