Vanhanen’s intelligence on the ice sets him apart from the rest. He’s very good at anticipating offensive opportunities, taking the right routes and dictating the pace of play with the puck on his stick. He’s at his best as a playmaker who finds clever passing solutions in tight and doesn’t settle for a decent play, instead finding the best one. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
