A strong offensive minded winger who will not hurt you in the defensive zone either. Was an integral piece on a very deep Wildcats squad this season. Has decent size and balance. Skates well and generates a health amount of speed. Shoots the puck very well with a quick deceptive release and follows his shot to the net looking for rebounds. Has a great compete level and is a strong character type. Not a vocal leader but one that team- mates just want to follow because of his on-ice high energy play. Might not make the NHL as a offensive player but has many other intangibles to his game. A re-entry into the draft. Leaves you wondering why no one took a shot on him last June. (May 2010)
