Thinly built winger who is more quick than fast. Deceptively and downright sneaky with the puck, and able to weave through traffic and generate chances. He is a dog out there, nipping at the opposition like he is coming for his bone. quietly has had strong season in Swift Current, leading the team in points and assists. An underrated playmaker with the ability to move the puck anywhere around his body to open up passing lanes and find teammates. He doesn't has the speed or ability of Basha or Marques, but similarly can creat off the rush, on the cycle but instead of "buzzing" he slows the age down and forces defenders to play at his pace. He is trusted defensively, wins puck battles, and isn't afraid to get to middle of the ice. Although it is so difficult to project players without an elite talent or tools as future NHLers he is solid in everything and gritty enough to be that exception. Plays with attitude and fearlessness.
