Message: [QUOTE="Powellfan, post: 5496239, member: 4819"] I was really impressed by his passing, especially in his high school highlight video. He does use his physicality, but he has a varied skill set. The highlight videos showed him doing pretty much everything except for facing off (though it looks like he makes plays on the face-off wing). My favorite play is the last one of his spring video - he's in a 2v1 groundball battle near sidelines on offense, but slaps the ball backwards to a teammate. He doesn't get credited with a single stat for the play, but it leads to what looks like a huge goal for his team. Love those smart hustle plays. Something about what Terry Foy says on that SSDM video makes me think he wants to focus on offense, but I could just be trying too hard to read between the lines. He's got what looks like all the tools to be successful there, especially a really hard shot, so I definitely wouldn't peg him into the defensive side of the ball right away. [/QUOTE]
