Former top Minnesota high school left shooting centre who has many NHL desirable attributes including, nice frame, excellent hands and elusive feet. Into February he was maintaining a point per game pace. Good at winning face-offs, he is a quick twitch, quick in the start / stop on his way to the loose pucks and the small areas. Looks as if he may have the mentality and skills of a finisher-as he has an accurate, quick release with strong velocity. Committed to the University of Minnesota. It wouldn’t surprise if he catches a team’s eye and gets pick before the third round ends.
