Away from the puck, Drančák’s consistent. He pushes attacks to the perimeter, gets inside the puck carrier’s hands, and proactively picks up checks. In the offensive zone, he creates chaos around the net with battles and well-timed pushes into space that leave the defence scrambling. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
