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
  • 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
  • Very good scoring winger.
