He was ranked 111th by Central Scouting for the 2020 Draft. At that time, he was considered a player with offensive upside (15pts in 36 games for the Cougars, then traded to the Blades, where he put up only 3pts in 21 games), with good passing and snarl, but a need to upgrade his skating and own-zone play. Since the trade to Saskatoon, he has changed his game around-sacrificing offence to develop his defensive game, which is now his strong point. He still passes well, but has added a good stick, good gap control, and added meanness and physicality to separate his man from the puck. He has upgraded his skating, and is considered to be fairly mobile for a big man, but still needs work.
