Poltavchuk is an effective, playmaking defenceman. He pushes the pace hard from the backend, often essentially serving the role of a fourth forward the way he gets involved on the offensive side of things. He’s always looking to make a play, whether it’s through carrying the puck, looking for a give-and-go, or crashing the slot as a trailer. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
