Gustafson’s a proactive player in all three zones. He anticipates openings and changes of coverage, fills passing lanes, and supports every play effectively. Where most players chase, he subtly angles or eliminates an off-puck threat. In the offensive end, that proactiveness appears in Gustafson’s well-timed dashes into the slot and between- defenders positioning, capped off with a projectable shot. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
