Part-power shooter, part-off-puck finisher, Emerson's game revolves around his shot. He fires off either leg, inside crossovers, or from compromised positions. Along the boards, he absorbs contact before attacking the inside. Off the puck, he slips away from coverage at the perfect moment and presents his stick for a catch-and-release shot. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
