Works well along the boards, doesn't shy away from physical play and plays a strong two-way game. Needs to bulk up and improve strength. Can play right wing or center but is better suited to wing.
Quotable

"Combines nice hands and strong work ethic. Tremendous improvement in skating and is now one of the fastest players in the draft. ... Players with energy and isn't afraid to mix it up in the heavy going or take a hit. Will need to improve overall strength - is very slight and gets knocked down a lot. ...
