Undersized speed demon centre who excels offensively when he has the puck. Has adjusted to the North American style and rinks and despite his size, is a able to handle his man and is a committed defensive player. Good edging, turns quickly, terriifc speed, and stick. Explosive and fearless in the high traffic areas. Soft hands and can make plays at his top gear. Eludes the defenders with his dekes, but is tough enough to take big hits. Like so many others, I have tried to downgrade him based on size, but I simply cannot stop denying the facts: he can flat-out play! e was selected to the roster for the World Junior Under-18 Tournament in April.
