I have been very impressed with my viewings of Josh Leivo. His skating is better than I expected, maybe not the quickest first step but he has the ability to gain speed. From what I've read he is most known for his shot, but from my tv and live viewings of him on the Rangers, his puck handling and playmaking abilities have been the most impressive parts of his game. He also seems to have a knack for being able to use his feet to kick the puck up to his stick and remain in stride. He hasn't been overly physical in my viewings but does not shy away from contact while carrying the puck and seems very strong on his skates. He doesn't hit a lot but from what I have seen (especially tonight) his stick is often in a lane that it block a pass and creates a turnover.
