Second year eligible wing is a long term project is doesn’t understand his defensive zone and has shown very little physicality. He is a good skater with agility, speed and a deceptive shot. Has a large frame that will fill in. He has a long stride and can be at defenders wide. Handles the puck well while in motion and crashes the front. He is an aggressive forechecker who can throw a wrench in the defensive teams exits. Although not that aggressive, he will stand in front and take a beating to get his chances.
