The towering winger uses his full reach to handle the puck, reaching out across his body before pulling the puck all the way across the other side to beat opponents. He beats goaltenders across the post, instantly pulls pucks from the boards to the post, and shows some finesse in-tight to capitalize on loose pucks and tricky passes. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
