Cardwell aggressively jumps in every battle and comes out on top more often than not due to pure will, but also refined technique. He uses his lower centre of gravity to his advantage, slips in front of opponents, and creates space to move the puck. He stays above the puck, funnels to the outside on the backcheck, and actively reads opposing movements in-zone to intercept passes. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
