The standard Svoboda games goes something along these lines: Battling around the net-front, getting open inside space, hard work on the forecheck, proactive defence, and one display of exciting passing display. Some of the plays he pulls off are complex, passes that require vision, confidence, and manipulating the defender to create the lane. He also has a powerful outside leg wrister, narrowing his stance and putting his body weight behind the shot. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
