Marjala is aware and deceptive. As he approaches defenders in the wide lane, he surveys his options, calculates the speed of his teammates and their routes, but doesn’t reveal their position to defenders. He looks them off and keeps a neutral body position, stick at his hip and shoulder pointed down ice, buying time for his target to skate into position. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
