Inside Wheeler’s Shocking Summer 2025 NHL Prospect Rankings: Who’s the True Future Star?
Snuggerud is a well-rounded three-zone player with a versatile offensive game who can make plays with skill and will. His head is always up and on a swivel, even in congested areas. He’s good below the goal line and makes a lot of low-to-high plays into the slot to find cutting teammates for chances. He goes to scoring areas and follows shots to the net to get to rebounds, playing a determined forechecking game. He has a dangerous one-timer, catch-and-release wrister and natural shooting motion — pucks come off his blade hard and quickly — but he doesn’t tunnel-vision for his shot, he sees the ice well and he can make plays back against the grain. He has good hands, which helps him make outside-in plays to beat defenders one-on-one more than he gets credit for. He uses space well and makes a lot of plays off his backhand. He’s strong on pucks and stick lifts. He has some touch as a passer.
