Leon Muggli’s smooth and agile footwork set the foundation of his game. When he’s set and ready for the rush, beating him wide is close to an impossible task. He absorbs the attack and follows opponents with a combination of smooth pivots and backward strides, and then launches himself at them, stick outstretched, to knock the puck away. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide

A mobile and very smart defenseman with few weaknesses. Plays a routined game at a young age. Agile with a great range. Plays calm and if nessesary physical in puckbattels. (by Reto Grimm, October 2023)
