Small forward with mediocre speed. Very good hockey sense. He’s able to compensate for his skating because he works hard off the puck and has good hockey sense. His scoring skills are decent, yet probably not good enough for a 5’9 forward that is a mediocre skater. I could see how he gets drafted. He has the statistical profile for it, along with some good tools (hockey sense, along with good motor and scoring), yet put it all together and he’s probably not a pick as I view it.

Has 12+19=29 points in 48 games. Wasn't bad for USA at the Hlinka in a grinder role. Committed to Boston University for 2025-26.
