Talent Analysis
An effortless skater who can reach top speed by using just a few of his long, effective strides...plays with above-average agility and possesses a solid balance...boasts an impressive pair of hands which control the puck smoothly...utilizes on his strong instincts and the ability to find the open man...very good in one-on-one situations...willing to play in traffic, but doesn't play a physical style...releases a precise wrist shot...decent slap shot, which could be more accurate...his intensity off the puck drops off...doesn't show much commitment on defense.
