An explosive skater, Simpson blends pace, puckhandling, and separation shooting to overwhelm opposing defenders and goaltenders. He boasts a diverse deke package, executes plays in both tight and open space, and uses deception masterfully around the crease. His shot is highly adaptable – slinging catch-and-release efforts with precision and unleashing a lightning-quick wrist-fold release. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
