“In puck skill, you put him with Nylander, but in some games you can’t find him. The end of his season and his under-18 tournament were strong.”
– SCOUT
“The winger’s skill would put him in the top 15, but he missed time at the end of the season with a back injury—not a concussion, as rumoured.”
– GARE JOYCE
“Played well against Canada. Has skill but also an attitude. He goes to the net hard and is hard to knock off the puck.”
– GARE JOYCE
“He’s got great size and can really skate but he doesn’t like when you’re physical with him. He plays smaller than you’d think.”
– SCOUT
“Seeing Edmonton bounce him around in the Memorial Cup final made a few wonder if he can compete physically at the next level.”
– SCOUT
“Missed 2015 eligibility by three days. Big power forward – a pro in the Swedish league. Plays a two-way game.”
– JEFF MAREK
“I always seemed to leave games wondering why he didn’t do more. He settles for playing well when he has the ability to dominate.”
– SCOUT
“Up there with Ehlers on speed and is stronger on the puck. Some scouts question his maturity and competitiveness.”
– GARE JOYCE

– GARE JOYCE
“Some teams won’t take a Russian under any circumstances because of the KHL. If he were Canadian, he’d be top 10.”
– SCOUT
