Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has elusive moves. Plays well coming down his off-wing and likes to set up from the side of the net on the power play. Anticipates the play well.
Flaws
  • Will always be small and light, which makes him susceptible to losing battles down low. Still needs more work in the defensive zone.
Career Potential
  • Veteran scoring winger.
