Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a wiry body and plenty of shiftiness in the attacking zone. Can rack up points with the best of them. Should eventually play at well over 200 pounds.
Flaws
  • Must avoid taking bad penalties, especially in the offensive zone. Needs to use his big frame more to his advantage and find his NHL niche.
Career Potential
  • Top six forward.
