Tage Thompson features one of the NHL's most unique skill sets. The Buffalo Sabres superstar is built like a power forward at 6-foot-6 and 220 pounds, but he dangles around the ice like a speedy winger six or seven inches shorter. It's a sight to behold.

Elite Prospects' Jack Fraser, best known for running the JFresh Hockey analytics brand, just ranked Thompson as the league's 11th-best center entering the 2025-26 season.
