Moore might be the fastest prospect since Connor McDavid but prides himself on his hockey brain above all.
NASHVILLE – A Minnesota kid. Idolizing the Wild and Zach Parise. You can almost picture him gliding around on frozen ponds in the State of Hockey growing up.
The track, the soccer, the commitment to power skating instruction since he was 10 years old: they all converged to create an elite-level athlete who is the 2023 NHL Draft’s version of Sonic the Hedgehog. Scouts bill him as perhaps the fastest thing on skates since Connor McDavid. Meeting with reporters Tuesday in Nashville during the top prospect media availability, Moore cheerily fielded question after question about his wheels.
There’s a harmony between Moore’s on- and off-ice personality that explains why he’s so liked: he has integrity. He doesn’t use his speed to cheat for offense. He’s a defensively responsible player who understands that, because he can patrol such a large surface area so quickly, he can make an impact all over the ice. When I asked which characteristics as a player are his is most underrated, he referred to the way he thinks the game.
