A solid draft contender at the centre position who flashes high end tools, puck carrying skill and smart off-puck play. He backchecks hard and pushes the pace. The way his physical skills and motor bolster his possessions is notable, backing up defenders and jumping on open pucks, applying back pressure, there is plenty to like about checking game.Without even taking a huge developmental jump while he attends Notre Dame, his crashing forecheck, one touch shot, and mature habits he projects as a bottom six off the pass scorer in the NHL.
