Size will be the discussion. If he can add 20lbs in the coming years he will have no problem at the NHL level. More of a distributor than shooter.
He seems to have the puck on his stick every shift. Makes plays. Sees the ice. Elite vision overall. He can lead the rush or join it as an extra layer. His ability to spin off checks and make plays is exceptional. High end Hockey IQ and three zone awareness. He jumps to space quicker than opponents and relies on an active stick defensively.
