Slovakian winger who is already pro-sized and has a set of wheels, and can stickhandle end to end. Still developing consistency and needs to play harder to get more space. In the course of a few months his leg strength and skating, his confidence, and is now a budding candidate to be a pro power forward. Drives the net and knows where to place himself. He plays the bumper on Nitra's power play and uses his quick release to score from there. Is good at redirecting pucks from there too. He force turnovers and penalties now with hard pressure due to his incredibly improved leg strength and power to his skating. Displays good jam and gives and take hits and usually comes out with the puck. Can go end to end and score, and his vision and puck handling are rocketing him up draft lists.
