Kalem Parker closes space early when he has support, forcing dump-ins and keeping attackers locked on the outside. Despite logging huge minutes, Parker's not one to pass up an activation opportunity. In flashes, he also leads the rush with weaving routes and a bit of deception. He works the give-and-go, opting for short, in-motion passes that allow his team to charge up the ice as a cohesive unit. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
