There are smooth skaters, there are explosive skaters, and there's Tanner Molendyk. A quick series of crossovers launch Molendyk past multiple opponents; it doesn't matter if he's moving forwards, backwards, or laterally. At full speed, he changes directions with sudden outside edge cuts, heel-to-heel skating, and tight turns. Even speedier, skilled opponents struggle as he instantly claims the middle, forces them wide, then darts across for the steal in a blink of an eye. His stick work's precise, and his hits are heavy. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
