Gustafsson is highly aggressive, creating value by pinching quickly and gapping up early. He has the lateral mobility to take away space in the middle and force attackers to choose the outside lane, then crush them to the boards. Once the play hits the defensive zone, his effectiveness doesn’t dissipate. Instead, he maintains the same play-killing mentality, leveraging his mobility, physical presence, and colossal frame to force breakups.
