His skating technique is among the best in this draft, especially for a player his size. Because it’s so stable and adaptable, he can easily handle the puck, pass, and fire inside movements. His combination of range and mobility gives him a large area of action on the ice. Opponents have a hard time escaping him; even if they fake him, Salomonsson can recover, close on them and strip them off the puck. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
