Is an excellent skater, thanks to a strong lower base. Can be used in any role on a hockey team, which adds to his overall value. Owns sound work ethic and great hockey pedigree as the son of former NHLer Michal Pivonka. Does not have his father's playmaking instincts, nor is he a natural goal-scorer. Therefore, he will have to prove he can produce enough to play a top-six forward role in the pros (the jury is out). Must become more consistent. | |
Long Range Potential: | Solid, versatile forward with upside. |
