The defenceman responds to the forecheck with confidence, making the difficult plays under pressure so that his teammates don’t have to. His effectiveness comes from frequent scanning before getting the puck and from a combination of physical skills and deception. Trudeau can separate opponents from the puck, extend his limbs to protect it, and get it off the wall with a handling fake and a short pass. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
