Talent Analysis
General - good sized center with two way abilities…Physique – good size even if he looks a bit short…has the necessary strength to be effective at pro level…effective along the boards, thanks to his muscles and his balance…good stamina, but he has to proven himself by playing a full season with the main team…doesn’t possess an opponent burning skating ability, needs to work on this area if he wants to elevate his game to a higher standard of play…Offense – combines a good vision of the ice with an excellent reading of the game to be a high level playmaker…he’s not a pure passer, knows how to place on the offensive zone to be in the correct position to be dangerous either with a close range touch or a deflection…cleaver with and without the puck, he is a player who doesn’t make many errors…can win faceoffs…Defense – not a defensive specialist, but feels the responsibility of being a center also back in the own third…while he is good in shadowing the opponents and covering the pass lines, he should backcheck harder…Mental game – doesn’t give up even if he makes an error…has a history of fighting when was playing with Spartak when he was younger, he remains a fairly aggressive player…
