Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has good size, speed and great work ethic. Makes room for himself thanks to his bulk and strength; he's effective along the wall. Is tenacious on the forecheck and an excellent team player. Can score goals in bunches.
Flaws
  • Is a bit too inconsistent in the scoring department and doesn't shoot the puck nearly enough to produce better numbers. Can also improve his game-to-game consistency in most facets of the game.
Career Potential
  • Industrious two-way winger.
