Undersized compact prospect from an athletic family. Never stops impressing upon his observers that he plays 200 feet the entire night without letting up. Displays a really nice first step and terrific edge control. That allows him to patiently slip into seams, stop start on a dime, skate to passes, and surprise in the scoring areas. Not the fastest skater, but has a good pace every shift. Really good shooter on the move, and very good at handling the puck in small spaces. High energy motor, diagnoses, and with his compact stride - catches teams whether he shoots or makes pass that they don’t expect. His recognition of where his linemates will be and his slippery demeanor make every pound difficult to contend with.
