Premium
It’s how he uses give- and-gos, off-puck skating, and positioning to obtain and then extend offensive zone time. The early passes that he makes really pop. Where most players try to beat the defender, he simply passes to the open teammate and lets them manage the space. He’s probably the best runway manufacturer I’ve ever seen at this level. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide

Father: Simon Wright

A dynamic playmaker with a sniper’s release, there is virtually no easy to stop him
