He’s mastered the slow game, cutting back where most sprint and delaying momentarily to draw the extra defender. Combining body positioning and an albatross-like wingspan, he easily shields possession and pokes pucks away from defenders. He’s also a master of deception, faking fakes on pass receptions, faking passes, and even faking cutbacks or turns. Those skills primarily serve Halliday’s playmaking. He slips pucks through defenders, reaches out to pass around them, and sauces pucks over their sticks. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
