Highlights: 1

Gavin McCarthy is part-robust defender, part-clever creator. He throws crushing hits, wins inside positioning, and eliminates off-puck threats. When the puck arrives, his advantage-creating skills take over. He fakes out incoming forecheckers before hitting both long-range darts and slick short-range plays around opponents. There's also plenty of flash to McCarthy's puck game. An angle changing wrister and a non-stop activation game make him a constant threat. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
