Rocketing up the draft charts after missing the initial two months to a lacerated kidney, this undersized fireball has first step quickness. He will open up his stride make moves that launch him past defenders, popping off his edges or will stutter step. He gets the goaler to commit and drop to make more open net high. A two-way player who never stops working at both ends. Is also able to caress the puck while in ascending to top speed in pass receptions or while he is splitting the defenders. Dynamic under-sided junior player that could see time at pivot. Reads coverage/positioning and capitalizes where the entrance points are and finds the seams to open ice, gets to the nest and for rebounds. At top speed can feather the puck to teammates. Has a quick snap shot. Relentless two way forward who will work hard to get the puck back.
