In addition to having the right habits away from the puck, Koivu has legitimate skill as a shooter. It’s not all about the one-timer, though, as Koivu also has a variety of different shot types polished down to a promising level. He’s comfortable shooting from either leg and his curl-and-drag wrister mechanics were some of the best among draft-eligible Europeans. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
