A smooth skating forward with loads of skill… he has the speed to beat defenders to the outside and the drive to go up the middle…his shot is heavy and quickly off his stick…his vision is outstanding…he is poised with the puck and has the hands to beat defenders one-on-one…he is a hard worker and plays with intensity…he has the skill to thread the needle with a pass. His size leaves you wanting move as he gets shoved off the puck and is not very effective in puck battles along the wall…his consistency shift in and shift out needs improvement. (May 2009)
