Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has impressive wheels, a booming shot he isn't afraid to unleash, great hand/eye coordination and excellent penalty-killing instincts. Can also play the point on the power play and all three forward positions.
Flaws
  • Doesn't have natural playmaking skills and isn't a very physical player, despite good size. Is slowing down with time and a little high-maintenance because he doesn't always play well within the system.
Career Potential
  • Aging, yet versatile forward.
