His movement is effortless and his utilization of crossovers is great. He was strong on retrievals, being able to change directions quickly and gather information with quick shoulder checks. He also scored a fantastic goal late in the game, receiving the puck in full motion at the point, beating the last defender wide before going bar-down with a backhand shot -- highlight reel stuff. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
