Wears his heart on his sleeve and empties the gas tank each and every shift. Fast skating two-way centre who plays with a high compete level, always keeping his feet moving and shows good aggressiveness. Playmaker who looks pass-first but can also finish off a play when given the opportunity. Defensively responsible, coming back deep into his zone and taking his man. Underdeveloped physically and lacking both upper and lower body strength which is a concern because of his smallish frame and if he has much more room to ll out. Smart with good hockey sense and defensive reads, solid on the PK. Awarded the Guy Carbonneau trophy as the QMJHL’s top defensive forward this season. (May 2011)
