Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has savvy offensive ability and overall polish. Is a deft playmaker with a little bit of a mean streak. Skates very well and provides some grit.
Flaws
  • Isn't very big by today's NHL standards and is vulnerable against physical defensemen, since he tends to wear down over time.
Career Potential
  • Complementary top-six winger.
