Drafted
2022 round 1 #32 overall by Edmonton Oilers
He receives pucks directly into his shooting pocket, using the weight of the puck to transfer his weight and load his stick. When acting as the stationary net-front presence, he shows quick hands in-tight and pulls off the odd high-skill shot. If he’s providing support, he’s getting open just outside the slot for catch-and-release wristers and one-timers. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
