There's no doubt that Novak is a capable WHL scorer with the potential to be among the league-leaders in points. He's a deceptive power play threat with angle-changing shots and look-off passes. While he's not much of a shooter at 5-on-5, he hits teammates in scoring areas with a wide array of creative passes. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
