Scouting Report
Along the boards, where he’s most effective with the puck, he drives his leg in front of the defender, followed by his hips to establish body positioning. With the defender secured to his back, he looks to make a play to the middle, either with a pass or by attacking the net. The physical game translates to the defensive end, too. Where many players reach, he takes the extra stride to come across the hips of the puck carrier. If he can’t get the steal, his non-stop pressure guides attacks to the perimeter. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
