Kasper Halttunen possesses a heavy shot, also has the handling skills, the reach and moments where he plays a physical, power forward game, where he drops his shoulder and runs through defenders' hands to try and get to the game. He's got a one-timer from the left half wall that power plays can be built around. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
