Rising offensive centreman with a strong stride and excellent lateral mobility. The bulb went on and he is make himself know every shift. If he doesn’t have the puck, he uses his agility to get it on the forecheck. Can causes opposing defensemen to have fits when he quickly charges in forcing plays. Has strong offense skills as a scorer and set up man. Displays vision and can create problems with his carries and passes. Has a good shot, but his value starts with hard forecheck, defensive responsible and relentless activity as an offensive generator and pursuer. A true Freshman who will only improve with more work.
