An intelligent, detailed 200-foot centre, Griffin excels the most away from the puck, and he plays a much more hard-skill style compared to some of his 5-foot-10 counterparts. Defensively, he’s alert and aware, constantly scanning and moving to tie up threats. Also a tremendous forechecker, he has excellent physical skills and thrives down low, overpowering opponents with his motor and intensity, shrugging off pressure and extending the cycle. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
