The Montreal Canadiens love to draft athletic prospects, and Jayden Struble fits the profile. He is one of the better skating defenceman in the entire draft: agile as he quickly switches between edges skating up and down the ice and quick off the mark to pinch in the offensive zone. Struble can also pick up speed and rush the puck up. He makes good use of crossovers as he switches direction to slides through the defence.
