SCOUTING REPORT
Fluid long strider who can play a high paced game with skill and creativity. Has impressive offensive capabilities and his ability to make quick decisions is why he verbally runs his teams power play. Versatile enough to play all three forward positions with excellent understanding, agility, and vision. Makes quick decisions. Finds open ice, utilizes his feet and stick to deke opponents , and use his soft hands to give and receive back the puck. Not a speed demon or a player with a heavy shot; just one who can use his quickness, vision, and finesse to make plays. He is good in puck pursuit. He has a fast release. Not a wall guy or one that engages much physically. Not strong on the wall or on the puck in confrontations, mostly because he simply isn’t developed enough physically to be one. Long term developmental prospect.
