Has all the physical tools to be projected to be a power winger, as his skating, size, puck handling and bullet shot while coming to the wing oozes "future NHLer" from the tube. He has displayed how dangerous he is as a penalty killer who makes opponents pay. He also has shown fine small area stickhandling. But the knock continues to be he doesn't create anything five on five, as most of his offense is on the power play. He simply doesn't compete hard. he is always chasing the puck and not driving the play. He doesn't use his big frame to win contested space. And he takes a split second to long to tee up his release when in close. The beauty of drafting kids 18 and under is there is plenty of time if they work hard to improve. Let's hope he does just that!
