I'm watching this Czech vs Swiss game, and this kid is looking impressive. Looks very dangerous and shifty with the puck on his stick. Seems like a pretty good skater for a guy listed at 6'2". Never had heard of him before, I tuned in to watch DRW prospects Hronek and Van Pottelberghe, but I kept asking myself "who is this #11 kid on Switzerland"?

Anyone have some more info on him?

Yeah. I also like the guy. Plays in the 2nd Swiss League inside the "big" ZSC-Lions organization. Went undrafted last year.

Has all the tools though. He's big, fast and has good hands. His all-round game is really good, but consistency and offensive instincts need to improve. Has a tendency to float or look lazy as he at times, despite his size, plays a soft game and lacks intensity. I think he'll be just fine...probably some time to grow into his body is all he needs.

He is considered as the best swiss forward born 98. A very weak forward generation though.

He is a bit an enigma.

On a good night he pulls off moves like tonight.
On a bad night he has a history of disappearing totally.

He obviously has a lot of talent. Size, body, speed, shiftiness and puckcontrol at his top speed, good shot and passing as well, protects the puck well. Rare combination for a swiss forward. On the other hand, he doesn't like the physical parts of the game, and simple hockeywork, he's missing a bit the drive and leadership qualities as well.

He's still playing NLB, couldn't make the big club yet.

I was hoping, he'd have a good tournament, and getting drafted as an overager.

He has a lot of bust potential, but when he gets every piece together, he's definitely worth a pick.

Just missed your post, before I started mine. Looks comparable though.
