There are diverse opinions on how quickly this huge winger goes off the draft board because he is so dominating against the smaller QMJHL players. There is no denying he seduces your opinion with his long reach. His sneaky deceptive release of the puck catches goalies off guard. Was added to the World Junior Summer Showcase as an injury replacement and played well when surrounded by really good teammates. At this juncture, he projects more as a right wing, and not a centre. He will have to radically improve his acceleration, foot speed, and pace to be thought capable of patrolling centre ice in higher levels.
