His natural instincts and feel for the game are undeniable, showing in the way he links up with and plays off his linemates while also being capable of setting the pace and slowing the game down. While the brain drives his value, Klingsell is also smooth and effortless both as a skater and puckhandler, capable of chaining together crossover-heavy rushes and inside-out attacks. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
