A pint-sized offensive forward. Skates well with nice speed and an excellent jump in his step. Cuts and turns well with elusiveness which he needs to survive against much bigger opponents. Looks as though he is done growing and has not much filling out left. Has high-end offensive skills, vision and creativity. Has a good quick shot and the ability to play the role of playmaker. Handles the puck very well with quick hands and can control it on his stick in and out of traffic. Willing to come of the perimeter but not consistently. Has good energy and can get under the skin of his opponents. Really turned it on at the playoffs where he contributed a point-per-game and made scouts that might have wrote him off again, take note.
