Defence is Bales’ calling card, instantly closing on opponents and punishing those who venture into his space. He angles attacks to the perimeter, then surfs across and free possession. Not one to chase or over-extend, he instead prefers to steadily eliminate space and time his poke checks. He’s physical, capable of throwing thunderous hits and winning battles with subtlety, too. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
