“Maestro” is a high energy wing that plays in all situations. He brings it each and every shift, and leads by example. Has excellent vision and is sneaky in the attack zone, drawing opponents and then creating looks through teammates. Plays fast, shift and with high energy and some sandpaper each shift. Displays a really quick shot, and attacks the opponents to take back pucks in defensive end. He is also relentless in the defensive end back checking, lifting the puck carrier’s stick to unearth the biscuit. An accomplished penalty killer who is unselfish with the puck. A deceptive skater who can lull defenders and crank his acceleration into higher gear. A lightweight, but too much to like about him to not think he gets selected and might find a way into the bigs. May not be the most diligent in all zones, or very physical, but when it comes offense, he is the fuse that lights the powder keg. Committed to Boston University.
