He receives pucks directly into his shooting pocket, using the weight of the puck to transfer his weight and load his stick. When acting as the stationary net-front presence, he shows quick hands in-tight and pulls off the odd high-skill shot. If he’s providing support, he’s getting open just outside the slot for catch-and-release wristers and one-timers. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
