This guy needs a thread, has been very impressive for a younger Kelowna team this season. A cursory report would be:
- He's only 15 and is about 6'3-180, so size will never be an issue. Should be scary at this level with another 20-30 pounds
- Good skater though I wouldn't describe him as a plus type
- Unbelievable shot that he is not afraid to use, not sure of the exact figures but he probably is up in the top 3 for SOG for the Rockets. Wouldn't describe him as selfish but projects as more of a shoot-first guy right now
- Very soft hands and can dangle surprisingly well. He is a more North-South type but he can sit on the halfwall and distribute the puck as well, and has done well on Kelowna's PP2 in that capacity (Merkley runs PP1)
- Has improved tremendously from the start of the season. This is the most encouraging thing to me - he was understandably tentative at the beginning of the year as a very young 15 year old, but once the points started coming he really flourished. Seems to be finding his confidence now and I am scared to think of how good he could be once he takes off
- Completely unafraid of anyone out there; he mixes it up at any opportunity which is really my favourite thing about him
- Defensive game is what you would expect out of a 15 year old going from US Midget to the WHL; but he is a very intense player and I don't see this being an issue in the long run
- He and his brother have some of the best hockey iq's on this roster, just very smart positional players and really get how contribute. Have high hopes for both in the future
