Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a strong lower body, which enables him to keep possession of the puck in the corners and also dish out solid hits. Can score goals in bunches. Is effective when crashing the net.
Flaws
  • Is somewhat injury-prone, due to his kamikaze style of play. Doesn't skate particularly well and struggles with defensive-zone coverage.
Career Potential
  • Aggressive scoring winger, when healthy.
