A pure goal scorer and elite offensive threat, he is a dynamic forward who is an agile skater when he keeps his legs moving. While he needs to work on his acceleration and speed, he makes up for it with his dangerous shot and goal scoring abilities – and he isn’t afraid to shoot the puck often. Highly skilled when it comes to creating space for himself and his teammates in the offensive zone and ability to keep control of the puck. He sees the ice very well and uses his hockey IQ to find open teammates with accurate passes. Has a keen nose for the net and causes a lot of issues for opponents with his flair for making plays. He has built on his frame this summer and looks strong in puck battles, using his frame to protect the puck. Defensively, he keeps his head on a swivel and keeps an eye on his man while also watching the play and staying in position. Whether he is blocking a shot or breaking up a pass, he is invested in his own end. One bad habit he will need to break is the temptation to cheat on the breakout, leaving his teammates behind. He is a player that can make a huge impact in the NHL if paired with a playmaker and will surely score a lot of goals at the next level. Seems to learn from his mistakes and will be relied upon for power plays and special teams in the future.
