He is an excellent passer who makes his linemates better, but he also owns a hard shot to score goals. Works his tail off in the corners to gain puck possession, and is also very strong along the wall. He wins a fair amount of board battles. While strong, he will need to fill out his frame. Lacks consistency and takes a few shifts off, so he will need to improve in these areas in order to maximize output in the NHL. Is still somewhat raw as an overall center. | |
Long Range Potential: | Talented, all-around center with upside. |
