Entry level forward who is still developing. Shooter. Outstanding release. Pucks are on and off his stick quickly and accurately. Doesn't need a lot of time or space to score.
Has the ability to push the play off the rush. Quick and fast. Down low, in the offensive zone he's slippery and hard to contain / spins off checks and works off the cycle or takes the play to the net. Averaging 14:13 TOI through first five games of (23/24) 12:33 ES - 1:39 PP
Defensive detail and overall read/react on the defensive side is a work in progress.
Area defender. Rarely bumps physically. Craves going on offense. Has to be patient at times and make sure his group has possession of the puck and are clearly exiting their zone.
