He will create a lot of space for his linemates. If you put him on a line with say Bennett and Shinkaruk, that would work pretty well both from a physicality perspective and a skill perspective. We would still need a #1 RW, but that's doable in other ways (trade/ufa)
Everything i've read suggests he has a great shot. His upside really excites me because he can skate, shoot, and battles hard. If he hits his potential he could be an unreal add but he could also turn into another Colborne which scares me too. He seems like a high-risk high-reward pick
