Pre-scanned on retrievals, deceived with his feet and body positioning, then quickly moved the puck inside or passed to an open teammate. As usual, tons of activation, often up the weak side or accelerating into space ahead of his forwards. Off the rush, he showed some playmaking ability, including a backhand pass to the middle. In OZP, he’s a shooter. Lots of shooting. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
