A three zone dynamo who needs lots of development but displays tools that show he already has some assets, including hard work, superior short area bursts of speed, and a quick release. Plays fast and faster. Supports well in the defensive zone and retrieves pucks that are loose. His greatest asset speed helps him when he dangles through and off defenders or when he gets to a puck and rockets out of the corner on the attack. But his playing speed in some cases need to be kept under control better, and as he sees the ice better he may be able to keep himself even closer to what is unfolding. Has to become better along the wall and develop better on-ice vision. Committed to Makato State University.
