An undersized forward operating at 5-foot-11, 165 pounds, Pilgrim’s nuance attacking off the rush represents the most dynamic part of his game. Along with some formulaic manipulation patterns – mostly shoulder shimmy into outside drive feints, just to attack the inside lane, Pilgrim blends playmaking, shooting, and handling to create. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
