Sportsnet.ca:
"Gustafsson is another towering first-round draft prospect. He has a
presence to his game. Gustafsson isn’t shy about engaging physically and
pushing opponents off his crease to clear shooting lanes for his
goaltender to see pucks clearly. He’s also capable of occasionally
rushing the puck and pulling up to make plays in the offensive zone.
Gustafsson projects as a potential two-way/match-up defenceman at the
NHL level."
