For Copponi, it's all about being in the right place at the right time, supporting the puck low in the defensive zone and below the hashmarks in the offensive third. Always offering himself as an outlet to his defenceman in transition. Probing for and finding shooting opportunities off-puck, sneaking in and out of his opponents' blindspots to pop open for scoring chances. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
