He’s interesting because of his physical game and his ideas, his ability to use space with and without the puck, and the occasional flash of playmaking, like the assist he got by sliding the puck under a stick with one-hand and backhanding it to a teammate across the ice for a shot. Lorenz can link plays all over the ice. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
