Van Vliet is dynamic. He has the weight shifts, crossover rushes, outside speed, and ability to manipulate opponents and claims space. Primarily a shooter, he fires off the catch, inside sticks and under pressure, and has a knack for getting open as the short-side support just inside the slot. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
