Steal of the 7th round. Another scholastic player of the year.
Connor Levis is an off-the boards playmaker, combining thievery, puck protection, and passing skill. He’s a machine on the end boards, turning puck battles into point-blank chances with backhand and slip passes under pressure. He builds the offence in transition, passing pucks laterally before relocating for a return pass. He skates his lanes, pushing back defenders or beating them into space and sealing off pressure. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
Connor Levis isn’t one of the top prospects available in the 2023 NHL Draft, but don’t let that convince you that he doesn’t have tools that could lead to a fruitful career in the NHL. He doesn’t bend the game to his will like Connor Bedard and he doesn’t ooze offensive potential like Matvei Michkov, but he does have a strong understanding of what his strengths are and how he can use them to make an impact for his team.
It starts with Levis’s size and how willing he is to use it. He isn’t exactly huge at 6-foot-2, 194 pounds, but he sure isn’t small. He uses his size and considerable strength to engage in board battles and fight for loose pucks in open ice. When he has the puck, it’s hard to knock it off his stick. As he continues to physically mature and add strength to his frame, he has the potential to develop into a real bull in a China shop, especially in the offensive zone.
Levis isn’t exceptionally creative on the attack, but he is effective. He tends to defer to simple plays rather than creating time and space through stickhandling and deception. When he runs out of space, he’ll send the puck back up high to one of his defenders or in deep behind the opposing goaltender. He’s a smart player that plays within himself; he collected 67 points in 68 games this season in the Western Hockey League mostly by playing a foundationally-sound game that complimented his teammates. -Connor Levis - 2023 NHL Draft Prospect Profile
