Tall winger is a good forechecker with a decent reach, gives his defense good support. Has good edging and lateral agility the ability to get to top gear quickly. Already pro-sized, high paced player who is good on the forecheck, causing turnovers. More of a straight line skater who is improving as a playmaker. He displays a good shot and the ability to place himself in good shooting areas. He was able to play in tight to the crease early on was very present and as the year went on, he added enough to project as shooter from range. He might still rank as average in most areas and isn't going to take any giant leaps to change that. He gets to dangerous ice really well, and improved his defensive zone reads. He improved his play off the puck and projects as a bottom nine wing who can play shotgun on the top two also. Has a committed work ethic, but has some additional development to do on the way.
