Cole Knuble by passes defenders with deft passes, a bit of deception, and non-stop movement. He's a true give-and-go player. Non-stop scanning and proactive off-puck positioning. Knuble's a threat from everywhere in the offensive zone: A passing threat in both open-ice and down low and a scoring threat from range with an even better in-tight finishing game. He's physical, fearless, and just as capable completing plays with defenders leaning on him as he is in open ice. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
