Limatov is a big, mobile defenceman that plays aggressively on both sides of the puck to impose himself every game. He’s a truly impressive mover, blending jaw-dropping fluidity for a player his size while also bringing plenty of explosiveness. He escapes forecheckers on breakouts with ease, then transports the puck across the neutral zone through crossover-heavy rushes. It helps that he’s also very strong physically, employing a strong base and ideal depth throughout his stride. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
