Matthew Mania

Few players squeeze as much value out of every puck touch. Mania never settles, instead manipulating multiple opponents to create a better option. There's so much creativity to Mania's game. He activates into the rush with give-and-gos after pulling the puck off the boards, beats opponents with backhand drags, slices through forecheckers with long-range passes, weaves through the opponents with shocking ease, and breaks down opponents at the point before setting up teammates across the slot. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
