Axel Landén is physically active, engages in battles with purpose and has solid understanding on how to gain leverage and establish body positioning, pin players down along the boards. He's shown he can find the best passing lane in the offensive zone, threading passes to the back post instead of going for simple point shots. Impressive on breakouts, where he reads the incoming pressure and hits the centre with a hard pass to start a rush. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
