Agility is Palodichuk's game. Name a skating skill, he has it: Heel-to- heel, punch turns, tight turns, and dynamic lateral crossovers. The agility feeds his dynamic puck-rushing game, with constant changes of direction and speed to deceive defenders as he strings exits into entries. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
