The name of the game is manipulation with Kyrou. He'll bait defenders one way and then slide right past them in the opposite direction untouched, leaving them behind the play and hopeless to recover. All the usual suspects are there -- side steps, look-offs, shoulder feints, etc. -- and the Otters defender has mastered them in the pursuit of clean zone exits and better looks in the offensive zone. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
