Rankings

Kuhta is a crafty finisher, particularly from closer distances but also from the right half wall on the power play. He’s got a capable one-touch release, but can also beat goalies from his backhand. Outside of the scoring, he brings value as a reliable two-way supporter who facilitates others down the middle, keeps track of his assignments, and can use his 6-foot-2 frame along the wall when required. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
