3. Positioning

Area’s For Improvement
1. Shot
2. Strength
3. Explosiveness

Scouting Report: A center who works good in both zones. Uses his stick very effective to interrupt passes and has a good positioning game, seems to be always where the puck will head to. Great ability to dig out pucks from board battles with his good stickwork. He backchecks well and fulfills his defensive responsibilities. Tries to be physical but lacks strength. Needs to improve his shot and overall is lacking strength, also needs to use his shot more often. However, he shows hockey sense and can set up plays with his good overview and possesess good play reading abilities. If he gains strength, can be a good two way center who works hard to fulfill his responsibilities.

NHL Potential: Two-way player who has good positioning in both zones.

Bill Placzek of DraftSite.com: "Displays good hockey sense and game and all the attributes to continue his developmental climb. Has good touch and strong puck control. Has good playmaking skills and makes good decisions and patience when carrying. Plays song on his skates and has good speed and first step quickness to go around defenders on the rush and then to the net. It is difficult to separate him from the puck. Works hard in his defensive zone and come back for make his defenseman’s outlet pass easier. A good back-checker. He still needs to get better offensively and also develop more lateral agility."
