Strong skating forcefull attacker with excellent range and a nice easy skating stride who js more than willing to drop a shoulder and drive to the front. An very good passer with soft touch while moving at top speed. Has a difficult heavy shot to handle and a strong release. His wrist shots usually create rebounds, if goalies don't hold on. He has good hand and eye coordinaion and can cut sharply into another lane, and gets past the last man to get open. Plays on the power play and the penalty kill. He uses his body to knock opponente off pucks. At the end of March, he was injured and that and his early season struggles might drop him a bit in the scouts eye's But he proved that he wasn't playing in Lafreniere's shadow, and is a nice prospect himself. Can play on the wing and probably projects to a pro wing, since he is less of a driver and more of an off-puck secondary puck carrier and complimentary scorer. Lots to like.
