He jumps into space off-puck, then hits the brakes inside space to become a shooting threat. When the puck arrives on his stick, his hands are already positioned to shoot. Because of his narrow posture and elevated elbow, there’s potential for him to develop more shooting skills like a curl-and-drag wrister, too. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
