A fleet-footed and sizey scoring winger. Owns good puckhandling skills and a hard, accurate shot that absolutely jumps off his stick. Is alright defensively, and does show a decent amount of physicality; however, both of these areas may need improvement. All-in-all, an offensive winger that can be very dangerous on the forecheck.
