Drafted in the 2nd round 53rd overall in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, the 5’9 162lb left winger is a force to be reckoned with.

All play has come to a halt, but before that he had 55 goals and 86 points in 46 games played which is on the verge of being 2pts/gm.

If you were to compare his game style, think Brad Marchand of the Boston Bruins. His engine never stops, has a knack for scoring, and can get under the skin of the opposition.

He most likely destination is the Marlies next season, but I would not be surprised if he were to make the Toronto Maple Leafs Roster out of camp.

He brings a passion and fire that not many Leafs players possess and could even make some of the current players play harder knowing there is a young gun that could take over their spot in the lineup.
