A meat and potatoes type of winger…full of drive and intensity…plays with a bull in a china shop mentality…has great hands that allow him to dominate down low…protects the puck well and works hard along the wall…shows smarts in his decisions and a willingness to play a full three zone game. Weakness: A knee-knocked skater who generates limited acceleration and has below average speed…limited success when carrying the puck due to his skating…needs to improve his shooting accuracy.
