A revelation at the Five nations Tourney, where this big winger displayed much improved feet and and oversll skills. Displays a long reach, finesse and power to his game. Will set up in the front and sides of the net on the power play and his wing span provide ample chances to turn and spin when carrying the puck from behind the netminder. A good passer and reciever of feeds from the other side. Big front of the net power winger with quick and hard sot. Has improved his skating where he now can go wide and then cut back dropping his leg and using his reach on wrap rounds and his spins. Took face-offs. In the Five NATIONS Tourney, he was a fixture in the front and off to the side on the power play, where this horse will gallop wherever he wants unimpeded. Has finesse to his edge, and good receptive hands when the puck comes his way.
