Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is one of the fastest players in hockey, naturally gifted and a constant offensive menace. Has soft hands, elusive one-on-one moves and a quick release.
Flaws
  • Must get physically stronger and especially avoid the injury bug, since he will be keyed on more with each passing season. Needs to play more of a team game.
Career Potential
  • First line right-winger.
