Speed,speed,speed. Great skater , one of the fastest in the league. He sees the ice well and is a fantastic playmaker. His passes are the part of the reason JS Dea is leading the league in points and getting tons of attention. His flaws are strength/size. He gets pushed around a bit and needs to bulk up before he makes the jump. I think he can be a later round pick (6th or 7th).

They are a very well coached team however. Andre Tourigny is a well respected hockey person.

Watched him play for the first time yesterday and came away very impressed! He's quite the dynamic player, has incredible vision, dangles like no other and scored one-on-one off a hard wrister. Very fun to watch and he backchecks hard too.
Gotta say I agree with this. I am baffled at how he wasn't drafted yet. That guy has top-notch offensive skills and has a rocket under his skates. The things he does at high speed with the puck is impressing.
He's a prospect to watch out for.
He's kind of ''beautiful'' to watch kinda like Nathan Beaulieu his skating and hands are so smooth that maybe that leads us ''regular'' fans to overrate him whereas NHL scouts will see something else...

Aside from 3 horrible passes he made from trying to do too much I was shocked at how good he is. Usually undrafted players dominate because they're physically stronger, but with him it's all speed and skill. He was flying all over the ice, I was getting dizzy watching him, as you said he has a rocket under his skates.
Whoever drafts him is getting a gem.
You mean for the NHL draft? He isn't ranked really because he's a 19 years old and has been passed over in two NHL drafts... it's tough for overragers to get drafted. But Andrew O'Brien, Tomas Hyka and Alexandre Mallet were all drafted last year
I'm sure he will get a couple of contract offers next summer if he doesnt get drafted

I have not seen him play....so I don't know but here would be my guesses..
1. Great stats, but he is 19. Many players put up excellent stats at 19.
2. He is small. Smaller skilled players with high offensive output are a dime a dozen.

He isn't that small but obviously he is not known to really grind it out in the corners or crash the net hard... he is a perimeter player but a damn good one... extreme top-end speed, great acceleration and sick stickhandling skills.
He is 19 yes but last year he was 18 and a rookie in the Q and still put up more than a point per game
He's on pace for more than 100 points right now

Today was the first time I have watched him closely and I liked what I saw. Skill is evident, and he is very fast. I thought he could have driven to the net a bit more but he was up against a tough russian team. I think someone takes him in the 4th-5th rounds this year.
