Blomqvist plays a quiet, composed game that looks smart and confident. He recovers from his rebounds well, doesn't overshoot his destinations often, and seems to have a solid grasp on how to read and anticipate plays. His tracking looks smooth like he's following along with the play rather than trying to catch up to it. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
