He creates favourable situations by getting defenders on his back. In the corners, he establishes body positioning before even receiving the puck, allowing him to quickly cut inside or spin away. In transition, he prefers to cutback rather than outrace, creating opportunities to set up the trailer or cut inside for a shot. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
