A solid skating playmaker with high end vision. Skates well, but has only average speed but has good change of pace, agility and balance on his feet. Not scared of the rough play but is not going to start much of it either. Handles the puck well and can protect it through traffic. Has a decent shot and can finish off plays himself. Vi- sion and creativity are what make him special. Has the ability to place a pin-point pass on a linemates stick mid-stride. Not much defensive consistency to his game at this stage, although he does venture into his own zone but still has trouble identifying his marks. Playmaking is what will get his to the NHL if he makes the jump. (May 2010)
