Lian Bichsel Facts

Bichsel plays with energy, violence, even, and that will endear him to any coach. He takes hit to make plays but mostly likes to dish them, especially in neutral-zone pinches. He has great habits all over the ice, scanning and using his stick and denying space and switching on his check. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
