Kantserov is an undersized forward with tons of skill and energy in his play style He’s got nifty hands and moves the puck quickly off his stick before getting a hit which is a key trait to have for a small player. Kantserov’s ability to play effective as a smaller player has lots to do with his short, feet, and deceptive movements. Smaller players often have to work harder than others to receive the same ice time and produce similar numbers, this makes Kantserov’s hustle a key quality in his selling points. A competitive player without the puck with great hustle on the forecheck to retrieve pucks. Displays drive to go along with his non-stop motorThese highly competitive qualities are key for Kantserov’s rank position, as of right now, he’s proven that he can hang with the bigger boys and even dominate in many aspects. He’s earned the trust of the scouts and that means he will likely find a team in the NHL 2023 draft. Here’s hoping we have a future Johnny Gaudreau amongst us, and another late round steal.
