Lean winger with an exceptional first step, excellent balance, and acceleration (despite his present stride) and nice puck skills. Swoops in and steals pucks and starts back the other way. He retrieves then settle the puck down, and gets nice looks with his shot. Hard worker down low with good pressure when his team isn’t holding it. A good shooter who usually shoots far side to cause rebounds to his line mates, and can also toe drag shoot off the rush. His strength is that when he explodes North-South he can use his agility to shift weight and feet and he’s cut through laterally. Needs time, but speed kills. —Bill Placzek—
