He accelerates well with good two-step quickness, and matches that pace with great four-way mobility. His passes were firm and well-timed and if he doesn’t have an option to make a quick play, he’s got the speed to carry the puck, too. Koskela plays a tight gap, mitigates risk with his footwork, and closes with force whenever the opportunity presents itself. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
