Tall and lanky centre is under-developed but still needs to fill out his big frame. He is a fine playmaker with a long loping stride but it lacks power and that first step burst. He really sees the ice well and reads the plays and well and will step up into gaps and intercept passes and take them in transition the other way after snatching them in the neutral zone. Has a strong stick in the face-off circle has soft hands to transport out elsewhere. When he spreads out, it is almost impossible to move him off it. Gives good effort defensively and once he gains strength and starts to be the sum of his parts, his game may take a jump upwards. That is what third rounders are suppose to do:take a longer development time to get to a higher competitive level.
