His cycle game, and ability along the walls, is very good.
He's got potential, and a handful of elite skills. It's up to him to put it together. I like the kid and very much hope he succeeds. IMO the biggest thing he's missing is improved skating. If he could accelerate faster, he'd be much more effective on the rush.

I think he has a pretty good shot actually.
He obviously has super hands, and this allows him to corral pucks fairly easily, and make nifty little passes.
