Very mature player. Played in the U20 Elite league last season already so the scoring uptick doesn't come out of nowhere. Not as skilled as Jordan Forget or Jamiro Reber but probably the better player right now. Very mature shutdown, two way Center. Physically strong and winning lots of faceoffs as well. His NHL upside may be limited to bottom six. His scoring does look good now vs kids both nationally and internationally but I'm not sure if it's gonna translate to pro hockey. Even if it doesn't translate entirely he's still gonna be a good player. Might be someone NHL teams look at for the later rounds.
I really see him as more of a Center. However, was able to keep up playing wing on the Swiss top line with Reber and Forget which shows he's got some offense as well. Forget and Reber are both fast and, as I mentioned already, skilled. I'd still have preferred to see Antenen center his own line but at least he didn't look out of place playing wing with skilled speedsters.
