Can someone give me some info on this guy please?

1. Is he more of a playmaker or a sniper?
2. Do you think he will make it in the NHL?
3. If he gets to the NHL what is his potential points per year?

1. I see him as more of a sniper.
2. Yes.
3. Very hard to tell, it all depends on how well he adjust to the game over there, he has the skills to make it to there already but then the rest depends on wether he gets icetime or not, if he finds his game on the smaller ice and new rules and if he enjoys life there in North America. Personally I think that if all this factors are fulfilled, he could be a good 50-60 point man in the NHL. I expect him to get 25-30 points in his rookie year if he adapts well, and then go on to get more icetime and thus more points.
