The centreman's supporting game is his biggest asset. He's the link between all of his teammates' plays, a predictable and timely ally all on the ice, offensively and defensively. He understands the shutdown game, the necessity to balance pressure and effort with sound positioning, to remove options from the opposition, and limit the time spent running around the defensive zone. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
