Nehring actively seeks out shorter routes to the puck, swoops in to establish superior body positioning, initiates proactive contact, and he gets under sticks as he shields defenders away from the puck. Off these touches, he flashes cutback deception, further leveraging his frame. It's off-puck where he's most efficient, spinning off defenders like a basketball player working a post move to attack rebounds or crash the boards. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
