When it comes to skaters in the past few drafts, there’s Oliver Moore and then everyone else. 

He has it all: Blinding speed, powerful edge work, and instant acceleration.

In many ways, he’s also one of the draft’s most refined prospects. His details only enhance his skating advantage over his peers. His motor matches his foot speed. And he’s a suffocating defensive presence.

So, how does that even happen? And how can Moore leverage his tools to become his best version? Let’s find out.
