He's got a lot of skill, patience with the puck and is very mobile. I remember in midget he played the point a lot on the pp and looked as comfortable skating backwards as most Dmen . Very smart with the puck too, the main knock on him would have to be play away from the puck, losing puck battles, and some inconsistency.

He was cut with a skate in practice and it ended his midget season early - so he fell at bit in the rankings which I couldn't believe at the time. All indications from those I have talked to he has a verty strong work ethic in practice and off ice.

I think he's underrated. Good skater, great puck skills, can pass the puck. Very good instincts in the offensive zone. However, he's small and light and can get pushed off the puck easily. He's also subpar in his own end.

He's worth a chance in the later rounds in the hopes he grows a bit and that he'll be willing to improve in his own end.
