Look no further than Klee's hands. He doesn't just have the toe-drag down; he reads the opponents' feet and goes in the opposite direction, and then skates back into their space to prevent the reach- around. In spurts, he creates chances by feathering a backhand pass through an opponent or slipping it around. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
