Talent Analysis
Fadden does not hesitate going through traffic. He is a good skater and is clutch in tight around the net. He’s an offensive threat, beating defensemen wide and easily creating opportunities off the rush. Fadden finishes well and shows signs of a complete style of play with his good hockey sense. Though not an overly physical player, Fadden is an amazing puckhandler, both at high speeds and in traffic. In order to gain a better defensive resiliency he will have to bulk up and become more physical. His mental game is said to be tough despite his young age.
