Kotajärvi is at his best when he’s pushing the pace on the offensive side of the puck. He has a desire to get involved in the play, frequently activating off the rush, then looking to delay and search for trailing options as a passer Defensively, he’s also in his element when he gets to play aggressively, pinching from the point to keep the play alive. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
