He is big. Has shown year over year progression.
From what I can find he is supposed to be more of a power forward using size and aggression to be effective as opposed to skill. But is supposed to have good skating ability.
Is he ranked as a possible third round prospect because he might be shifted to the wing as a grinding boards type player?

I’ve seen him ranked plenty in the second round in mock drafts, etc. His skating is ok when he gets up to speed, but his startup, co-ordination, and agility need work-a common problem with kids his size. He is good at taking away the middle of the ice though, and plays a good, grinding power-forward game.
