report from EP draft guide

O’Connell’s a playmaker, combining vision, skill, and a give-and-go mentality to beat pressure in all three zones. Hand speed allows him to access tricky lanes, while head fakes and weight shifts leave defenders guessing. Along the boards, he slows down to wait for pressure, then passes. He slips pucks through defenders, over their sticks, and off the backhand. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
