Tomas Galvas is a smooth-skating two-way defenceman with a suffocating defensive game, crafty retrievals, and skill. He’s a fluid, powerful, agile skater, explosive in straight lines and nimble on his edges. He can evade forechecking pressure and carry the puck up-ice with ease; he’ll activate from the offensive blue line and into the play at pace as opportunities present themselves; and his defensive range is immense. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
