Muhonen’s calling card is his skating ability – especially going forward – combined with the size and the physical edge. He’s capable of transporting the puck across the neutral zone, also using his feet to gap up early and aggressively to force breakups on top of the defensive blue line. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
