He anticipates puck movements, limits the dangerousness of opposing plays, shoulder checks and positions his stick in passing lanes, and even if he stands at 5-foot-10, he is surprisingly sturdy, winning his share of battles on the walls. He laces deception in his feeds and occasionally manipulates high opposing defenders with feints. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
