Plays a nice power forward and finesse style mix…has good on-ice vision and ability to thread the needle with a tape-to-tape pass…possesses a good shot that is both accurate and hard…gets his wrist shot off quickly…handles the puck well with soft hands and solid puck protection…displays solid leadership…plays physical as he looks to play the body and will drop the gloves when pushed…smart instincts as he knows where to be….solid two-way player. His skating leaves room for improvement…has limited lateral mobility and lacks agility…consistency is also lacking in his game, shift in and shift out you would like to see the same level of compete…strength will need to increase if he is too be effective playing his style at the next level.
