He reminds me a lot of Jost where he's not the sexy pick, but someone you will all consider solid down the road here. Hepple mentioned in the forty-minute interview that Sakic told him to simply target hockey intelligence (which I absolutely on the board with, it's my favourite area to target as well). He isn't as crafty, elusiveness, nor hard to control compared to someone like Bokk who I would consider a similar player in terms of talent and potential.
However, Kaut's vision and field of view is definitely one of the best in this draft - I would put Ryan Merkley, Quinn Hughes, and a couple others of having better field of view. Just a very smart player with the puck that has a really underrated two-way game due to his smarts (more positioning than physicality). Not a lot of tools at the moment and definitely needs to work on his shot heaviness, but his skating is very smooth. That's how I would describe his game overall, smooth player who opens it up East to West instead of being a North to South bulldog.
Probably tops out as a 2nd line winger who fits perfectly within our team, reminds me of Reilly Smith's overall game with Mats Zuccerello's playmaking and vision. Perhaps a playmaking version of Jakob Silfverberg is another comparison you can use off the top of my head.
