Winger with a solid two-way game, who finds the soft spots in coverage, and has plenty of skill and good feet. He is well-balance flyer who can circumnavigate through tight spaces at high speeds. His high-level puck skills including super soft hands let him keep opposing defenders guessing on how they should react. Has nice size, displays a strong wrister, and plays a style that fits so well with the new attacking schemes. Really high-end hockey sense, and full throttle player whose on-ice presence seems to tip the scales in his team's favor. This happens no matter if it is in open ice, or in tight stick cluttered scenery. Reads, reacts and anticipates and answers with precision through traffic passes and receptions while playing with a cool demeanor. What becomes clear with views of him is that he is continually in scoring position. He provides a threat whenever his line gets a foothold in the attack zone. Very defensively responsible and fills the uncovered attackers when breakdowns occur. Did I mention his heavy shot and quick release? Committed to Boston College.
