Isaiah George

At his best, the Knights defenceman is an effortless puck-carrier, darting past forecheckers with agility and power to create exits and entries, often on the same rush. His nearly form- perfect mechanical forward stride is a real asset in this regard. Those same skills translate to neutral zone defensive sequences, where George gaps up early, takes away the middle of the ice with a strong defensive stick, and closes with urgency and force at the right moment to end possession or force an uncontrolled play. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
