Smart smaller compact winger who understands what it takes to win and does it, every shift. Due to the fact he got to play nest to Morgan Frost, he was a afforded the time to advance his game while without the puck, creating space, racing coverage and finding the soft spots. Relentless in puck pursuit as he goes fast and hard into the corners does so many things that help his team win. Kills penalties and is determined to continue his upward climb. Finished with 27 goals and 61 points in 65 games He is the a player you can slide up and down your line-up through four lines, but you wish you had one for each of the lines.
