A big, skilled forward with nice potential. Skating is a weakness at this point as he has fine straight line speed but his first few steps is where it hurts him. Needs to add some lower body strength and improve his foot speed. Has soft hands and can dangle with the puck. Is creative with very nice vision and is a dangerous player in the offensive zone. Has a good shot with a quick release and gets into proper position around the net. Not overly physical but does use his big frame to protect the puck. Needs work on his game in his own zone and when he doesn’t have the puck. Thin and could stand to add another 30 pounds of muscle before moving to the North American pro ranks. (May 2011)
