Lorenzo Canonica Facts

Agency: Premium

Lorenzo Canonica flashes a specific set of skills: passing plays, off-puck timing, and handling abilities. He can dangle defenders and goalies, at times, and he also scans the ice frequently. He seems conscious of his positioning, offensively and defensively. The forward recovers a lot of loose pucks in the offensive zone and transitions the play with speed. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
