The scouting report on him is that he's a good skater with an excellent shot, decent faceoff skills, and leadership qualities. Personality-wise, he's driven; he accelerated his high school coursework so as to graduate early this year at attend the U. of Minnesota in the fall, which tells us he'll work like a fiend to accomplish a goal.

The real NHL draft will take place later this week, in Los Angeles; we'll be updating live for the occasion, and St. Louis Game Time will have all the analysis as things happen.
