Kantola displayed good acceleration, clean mechanics, and surprising amounts of speed. He was making solid decisions with the puck, mostly by advancing the play in transition. He didn't hold on to the puck for long periods but instead made high tempo plays up the ice. Despite his size, he also displayed good defensive awareness. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
