A nuanced attacker off the rush, Thoreson does everything he can to control the play. He drags defenders with him to create openings, incorporates a delay game to break down gaps, protects the puck at his hip to set up high-paced dashes through coverage, and he adjusts his patterns from the outside in. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
