He maintains a detailed mental map of the ice that allows quick decisions and a heightened read on incoming pressure. Defensively, he maintains an above-the-puck posture and suffocates opposition puck-carriers. He’s so dialed in off the puck, capable of making the right reads and knowing when he can switch from his man and give his teammate support. – EliteProspects

His numbers may not jump off the page but considering his past season and the fact he spent most of the season on the third line, they are very impressive. He’s a high-end thinker of the game who can create offense out of nothing. – DobberProspects

When Niederbach is looking to make plays and layering fakes and deception into his game, he can shed past defenders and function as a primary carrier. I love his willingness to try again when his carry doesn’t work the full time and the way he uses his vision to pull the opposing players away from his intended line. – Scott Wheeler, The Athletic
