Kuznetsov's journey has been an immense one, and with a pro-ready body at 6-foot-4 201 pounds, he presents as a player who could be high in the minds of talent evaluators for the 2020 draft. He effectively uses his size advantage to probe for pucks with his long reach and physically punish opposing players. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
