Vierling is a defensively reliable, high-motor, two-way player, and a credible dual-threat scorer in the offensive zone. He's actually pretty enthusiastic about mucking it up in the most hotly contested parts of the offensive zone. He's even willing to take the puck there himself if he has to. He's also a credible shooting threat, even at intermediate range. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
