JR: I really like Frans Nielsen. He can do a bit of everything and I think he’s really underrated. I like how he plays so responsibly, but can be quietly dangerous in the offensive.

I’m very good in the defensive zone for my age. I like to be responsible there first and foremost. I know I have to improve a lot in the other direction and my shot needs a lot of work. I think I have pretty good offensive instincts and those come in handy when taking care of business in my zone and moving forward in the other direction.

I think that exactly the kind of role model he should mould his play after. Great to hear a 16 year old mention responsibility as an vital asset. That usually comes with age so it just reinforces how mature this kid is.
