Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has terrific hand/eye coordination. Displays excellent instincts at both ends of the ice. Can line up at all three forward positions. Is good on face-offs and when killing penalties.
Flaws
  • Doesn't display enough offensive consistency. Is somewhat fragile and injury-prone, so he could use more bulk to help with the rigors of the National Hockey League schedule.
Career Potential
  • Two-way forward.
