Not much of a finesse guy. He's a really solid transition winger who does a good job of playing off of skilled linemates. He's better suited playing with a puck transporter at even strength. He's also a weapon on the powerplay. That's a useful player.I haven’t watched him much from Jr but from what I saw he always struck me as the complimentary scorer player. Watching him in Bako and his training camps he seems to be more a finesse player - something we just don’t need.
I’d rather we bet on players that fit the 3/4 line mold than scorers that late. Late round scorers with no size rarely pan out and we need the complimentary players at cheap contracts to fill out our roster down the road.
If you can unlock some offense this year in the A, it's not hard seeing him build some momentum to an eventual call up.
I think that most effective bottom six type players start off as effective offensive players at lower levels. It's not always physical, PK types.
