A bit of a slippery playmaking forward who can score. Has good vision and hands that allow him to carry the puck while scoping the ice for options. Makes crisp tape-to-tape passes more often than not and has an underrated shot. Skates with a healthy amount of speed but lacks a true separation gear. Not a physical player by any means but he does drive the puck to the net and goes there looking for chances. Has a tendency to go through invisible stretches this season. Showed enough skill to get teams looking his way for what he could develop into. A boom or bust as he does not look like he has the tools to be a checker if scoring does not work out. (May 2011)
