Drafted: 14 overall, 2023 round 1 (Logo of the Pittsburgh Penguins PIT)
In his first WHL season he produced more goals than assists -In his second season he has flipped the script - Safe to assume he can contribute scoring and playmaking
More strength required as he matures - right now he has a difficult time consistently getting to the middle of the ice and battling in the hard areas
When he gets the edge his first instinct is to direct pucks on net - Bottom line is he produces offense - Potential top 6 - maybe top 3 NHL forward
