Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is extremely heady and an outstanding playmaker. Makes his linemates better in the offensive zone. Has a wealth of scoring potential.
Flaws
  • Is smallish by NHL standards, and must shake the 'soft' label in order to play regularly in the big league. Needs more work on defensive-zone coverage.
Career Potential
  • Second line center.
