Skates well and has nice quickness…has a good work ethic…pressures the opposition and causes turnovers…has a quick wrist shot and the vision to set-up his linemates..plays with grit and is a fast pest defensively …uses his speed to get into lanes and close down an oppositions options…has a quick stick. His lack of size is the reason he was passed over last year…might have a low offensive upside at the next level because he has a hard time fighting through traffic…has times where he seems to run around chasing the puck instead of maintaining his defensive positioning.
