Sourdif is a fascinating player to watch ply his trade as he is incredibly unique in his approach with the puck. At first glance he can seem out of control and off balance on his skates, but just as you think he has nowhere to go, he’ll make a lightning quick maneuver and be all alone in front of the net. His well-rounded offensive game and creativity will carry him far, however if there is something that will hold him back it will be his unorthodox skating stride. He covers good ground and is by no means slow, but his stride doesn’t come from the strongest base. He is constantly assessing and re-assessing his options and it makes him a nightmare to defend as there is no predictability in his game. He has deft hands in tight if pressured, shows excellent vision and touch on his passes and has above average finish when given the chance to bury the puck, but could refine that finishing ability to become more of a constant threat. Does a great job at creating space offensively both with and without the puck, but he really shines at playing keep-away once the puck is on his stick thanks to his quick hands, sharp turns and competitiveness. Adding to his effectiveness on the ice is an attention to detail. He knows his coverage in the defensive end and puts himself in smart places to be open for a quick outlet. He is a high energy player.
