Quick and Fast - a very good skater who can dart in and out along with transition up ice when space becomes available
Competes
Can be used in a variety of roles
Offensive upside has to be monitored - has not shown top six scoring upside to date but has the look of a player who will break out in time

His offense improved marginally year over year at the SHL level.
The biggest improvement came in his overall game management. He was used at ES and PP at Rogle. At ES he played with energy, compete, and reliable three zone detail. When his team didn't have the puck he tracked back responsibly and didn't cut corners defensively.
Up ice he looks quicker and faster. His role on the PP was that of middle bumper / side crease playmaker. A competitive 2-way forward who projects to produce secondary offense at NHL level - and can be used in a variety of roles. He didn't PK in SHL but appears capable.

Recent play at the SHL level in Sweden playing for Rogle has showed continued growth in his overall game. He's above the play when his team doesn't have the puck. He takes his check all the way back to his crease.
Off the rush he remains a threat off the edge who is willing to take pucks to the net. The majority of his TOI comes at even strength and the power play.
Quick stick in traffic. Finds tips and rebounds. 2-way forward. Playing responsibly.

On the rise. When the intensity ramped up in playoffs he displayed the ability to take his game to another level. Over a 10 game playoff segment in April he produced 3g-3a-6pts and was deployed at ES and the PP. His ice time increased and ranged from 12:00 - 19:00 per game. A natural centreman who plays the wing at the SHL level in Sweden. He competes the full 200ft, has a very good stick, extends plays along the boards, goes to the crease looking for tips and rebounds and has vision to lead the PP B/O. A well rounded, potential top 6 forward.
