The Princeton-born forward won't push the most nuanced play, but eye-line manipulation is a major part of his repertoire. Gardula will regularly sell a pass with his eyes, only to leverage a deceptive wrist shot in transition. When set up in the offensive zone, Gardula will even reset high, load a downhill shot, freezing defenders enough to send a pass to the weak side. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
