I saw this forward listed as a potential 3rd round pick for 2021 but couldn't find a thread. Can someone tell me more about him?

Played on the 3rd and 4th lines last year in Kamloops as a 16 yr old. Given more opportunity this year due to players leaving and some injuries and has produced over a point a game.
Listed at 6' on eliteprospects, but he is more like 6'2 now.

Kamloops is stacked this year

Even not having Stankhoven for most of the season, and Zary out for for the past 7-8 games, they still pumped teams.

Future is bright with Bankier, Levis, Stankoven, Minten.

Anyone watch him in Kamloops a lot? I'm very intrigued by what I've read and seen, but I haven't read or seen much. I like his size and shot. How is the rest of his game?

Always loved his skill, and brain. Can be inconsistent and doesn’t have a lot of hardness to his game. Skating is passable but not a strength

Monster game for him tonight. 3 goals, 2 assists.
