It would be wrong to characterize Buteau as just a hammer, as he also brings handling and passing skills to the table. He can slip pucks to teammates on breakouts, activate with teammates up-ice and create passing plays alongside them, and even fires the odd hard shot from the point. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
