Good mobile puck mover, but also has a strong shot. Runs the top powerplay exceptionally well. Positionally sound in the defensive zones and very good with his stick.
His massive frame makes him very hard to play against. He has a wide wing span allowing him to be effective with the stick check. A very good penalty killer with zero hesitation of clearing the front of the net or blocking a shot.

Has good size and an ability to score in the slot. His offensive instincts are above average.
Offensively gifted. Has good speed and is creative with the puck. Has a very heavy shot that can fool the best of goalies and is improving his physical game.
