I'll be doing a full profile soon, as I don't want to give too much away, but he's in the late 20s/early 30s.
I do like his offensive game. He's got great stickhandling, a good shot, and good playmaking skills. He's also not afraid to get to dirty areas of the ice or work the corners despite his size.
As far as criticisms go, the defensive play needs work, and he quite simply needs to put on more muscle.
He's a boom or bust kinda guy, comparable to a guy like Aberg (Nas), a Swedish winger from last year. If they make it as top 6 NHLers you've got a great pick, but they are boom or bust because if they don't crack the top lines, they aren't going to fill a role on a checking line for you.
