Aydar Suniev is a crafty playmaking-type forward. A manipulator when he grabs retrievals, it's not uncommon to see Suniev create deception with his feet, sending players flying. He opens his hips, to make lateral pushes to the inside or slip pressure, and his puck protection ability, particularly how he shields the puck and keeps his balance, makes him a monster along the boards. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
