Talent Analysis
He is a good power forward with an above averages skill set. He's a good skater with quick feet. He handles the puck very well, has a good shot and has a quick release. Has the size and tenacity to be a force on the ice, just needs to learn when and where to apply it with consistency.
Future
The young forward should be one of the club's first call-ups to the NHL ranks, and could very quickly find himself on the Canadiens' roster.
