One shift, Velikov can dangle around a defender and cut through his hands to get to the net and the next pop open at the far-post to tap in a pass. He also uses the occasional give-and-go to create space for the attack and he can blast wide of the entire defence. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
