Cormier projects more as an offensive defenceman. His shooting ability and his propensity for backdoor plays separate him from his counterparts. He can catch a cross-ice pass and fire the puck before the goalie can react. Cormier's shot also serves as a playmaking tool; he aims his cannon at the stick of teammates and creates rebounds for them to pounce on. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
