Draft Profile:
EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide – What defines Solberg above everything else is his mean streak. He’s not content just repelling opponents. He wants them to be as close as possible, as it’s then easier for him to press his stick in their back. He inflicts pain every chance he gets, immobilizes opponents, and knocks them away from the front of the net.
Scott Wheeler – The Athletic – March 25th: “He plays really hard and firm on both sides of the puck, with a mean, strong, physical presence that has seen him make life hard on opposing players whenever he has played against his peers internationally. He’s really physical in man-to-man coverage, sometimes even too much so. ”
