A big bodied winger who in 2022 we t from a role player in the 2021 Ivan Hlinka – Gretzky Tournament to a regular with Dukla Trencin. His footwork had shown radical improvement making him lighter and quicker on the ice. Displays a quick wrist shot, and plays the bumper on the power play. Also a regular penalty-killer. Very willing to crash the net for loose pucks and rebounds. Has finishing ability. He can score in a multitude of ways, and is exceeding expectations as a high end playmaker. Exceptionally agile in his clunky skating style, he established himself as a top scoring forward despite the fact he needs more upper body strength. Plays with pace, wins puck battles but doesn’t really project as a power forward type at this point. Does crash the front, go to the middle and has a heavy shot that along with his improved jump, makes him a real threat to break in and let it go on the fly. Plays the bumper on the power play and was a penalty killer with the Giants.
