Matthew Soto Facts
- Agency
- Premium
Soto's unrelenting pace overwhelms opponents. Crossovers, cutbacks, and dekes leave defenders confused as he barrels his way to the net. Never flatfooted, he constantly flips between scoring and supporting position, engaging in every battle possible. When opponents recover possession, he's the first player to apply pressure. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
