Wennberg is a skilled forward with smooth hands, strong puck-handling ability and quick feet. He has great vision, hockey sense and patience with the puck on his stick. A solid shooter, he should perhaps shoot more, but he is a "pass-first" type of player and a playmaking center. Is also a very hardworking player and should he not be able to transition his offensive game in the big league, he should at the very least become a very valuable role player. (EP, 2012)
