Has become a nice sized winger with his growth spurt. With it, he has grown into a nice prospect who flows with the games tempo all 200 feet. Quickly gets to open ice and displays light edging and makes himself available for receptions. He can gain inside position and cut hard to the net. Blocks shots. Has room to put more weight on his frame and he can get quicker and get comfortable with his taller / larger size. A finisher who was third on his team in scoring with 39 Goals, 79 points in 68 games. Handles the puck well at top gear and reads the ice well. Usually anticipates a step ahead of the play. A longer term developmental guy whose needle is pointing upward. —Bill Placzek—
