Solidly built winger who is confident in his carries in the high traffic, and had a 36 goal 81 point season. He is not the finished product and he needs to become a higher paced sixty minute player. Light on his skates and edges, he finds the soft areas and is opportunistic in tracking down rebounds. It’s like he was built to be a greasy area scorer. Occupies the bumper position on the power play. His rookie WHL season is one where he has excelled with no fear of failure. Will need time to round out is development, improve his power in those nimble feet, but clearly his name has been rising on draft boards. —Bill Placzek—
