Quinton Burns is proven capable of handling long minutes and tough defensive assignments. His strength and balance will enable him to box out opponents from the front of the net and his mobility to neutralize passing lanes and deny space. Burns has all of the advanced transition ideas, he spins off checks, attacks the inside, looks cross-ice for options, and even manipulates incoming pressure. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
