Centre-wing with excellent speed, hands, shot and instincts. His high end creativity and vision are what is helping him succeed and a sniper. Had 30+ goals as February began. Very patient and instinctive, and his puck control (due to his soft hands) have in control in the attack zone. Not a finished product as he needs to improve in his recognition and coverage in the the other two zones. One would hope he continues to improve in his involvement in the high traffic areas. Has seen duty on wing and centre, and needs plenty of work to improve in the face-off circle. Average sized at this point, and London has done a nice job patiently bringing him along. His defensive game needs more fine-tuning, but he has lots of attributes that will see him coming off the draft board fairly early.
