Elite offensive talent.
Play driver. Threat off the rush. Creative in small areas. Equal parts shooter / distributor overall.
One of the most competitive players in the entire league. Empties the tank every game. Wears his emotions on his shoulder at times.
Plenty strong enough to extend plays along the boards and battle for pucks around the crease.
Averages nearly 22:00 TOI. Primary ice time comes at ES and PP#1. Very rarely used on the PK. Room for improvement in the face-off circle. Winning less than 50% of his draws.
