Have watched a couple of Cataractes games the season to watch him and Bourgoult (and Ponimarog and Bourque, two guys I loved last year) his skating isn’t too big of an issue. His straight line speed seems good for his size, his agility isn’t anything to write home about right now. He’s an ox in the offensive zone, once he gets the puck on the cycle he’s a machine, hands and brain are high level.
Obviously haven’t been able to watch him, or any games, live this year yet, but thankfully will be in the rinks for a few games come April 19th.
