Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has excellent scoring ability and loads of tenacity. Can play a big man's game due to superior work ethic and excellent skating ability. Possesses a lethal shot and a nose for the net.
Flaws
  • Doesn't yet know how good he can be, which can be frustrating for his coaches. Tends to wear down over the course of an 82-game schedule, so durability is a concern. Must also continue to improve his play in the defensive zone.
Career Potential
  • Inconsistent scoring winger with upside.
