I think Diego is one of the most active and ruckus-causing 5on5 players available in this draft. He has a knack for closing gaps, establishing inside space, and using his hand-eye coordination to bat pucks out of the air and push the tempo into the o-zone consistently. The depth of his cuts, the agility and explosion he finds, and the pace of play he demands of himself every shift tell the story that he has a chance to be one of most desirable players who has a chance to slip. The chemistry and team play he shows with linemate Cole Wadsworth is palpable. They both understand spacing, give and goes, and advanced offensive tactics. He’s a September birthday who is still early in his development path.
