A two-way playmaking centre with good smarts and vision. Skates very well with impressive speed and agility. Improved his defensive play greatly this season. Wins battle for loose pucks. Plays with sound positioning in both the offensive and defensive zones. Has a long way to go to be a well rounded player but is work- ing towards it. Needs to add more strength and bring a consistent level of play each and every night. (May 2010)
