Steve Ott is to assess the type of player here as an agitator. His playing style includes a very aggressive nature and to provoke the enemy by some unfair actions. Also, he is regarded as a good pugilist. However, Ott also stands out for good skating properties and is also a prolific power forward. Its for this type of player unusually high draft position underscores this.
