Why Aleksander Barkov is the Best 2-Way Forward in Hockey

Heres an intangibles hockey style breakdown of the details to why Aleksander Barkov is one of the best overall forwards in the game today. He is the complete player. He has a great athletic skillset paired with an even greater hockey IQ. He plays at an extremely high pace in both directions, always skating, keeping momentum, working back above the puck and supporting his defense.

With good positioning, momentum and timing he finds his way into soft areas and offensive opportunity. But he doesn't sit around waiting for pucks to come to him - he CREATES opportunity by skating with the puck, and attacking the net.

Lets take a look at some of the things he does well?
