The hallmark of Willis' game is his intelligence, which he uses to create advantages for his teammates and expertly support the play in all three zones. His off-puck instincts, coupled with an unrelenting motor, allow him to thrive in his own end. Willis anticipates rotations, pre-scans on retrievals, constantly impacts puck carriers and forces turnovers with ease. He will cover the open points in the offensive zone if his defencemen have jumped up into the play and he can also effectively close gaps while defending the rush. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
