SCOUTING REPORT

Dub centre with character, skill and high compete level. Slick stick handling pivot who sees the plays developing before the have come to fruition. He has excellent offensive instincts. His feet and hands play fast in unison. A one touch passer. Smart playmaker who will link together passing plays with good touch, and skates up closer to his linemates to shorten the length of passes, then flies to an open area to receive a return pass. Draws the opposition out of their areas and his linemates gain scoring areas as a result. Strong 200 foot player. He will be asked to handle tough minutes,high percentage of defensive zone starts,against the other teams top lines in the early pro career.  Will gain the leg strength that is missing. Certainly drives the play for his team with his present abilities, and may reach the 100 point plateau this season. His foot speed has been questioned, but he has a fast stick, reads thing before they develop, and there is no wasy his skating is a deterent to his success.
