Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has tremendous vision and playmaking ability. Is incredibly shifty and often makes opponents miss with their bodychecks. Possesses plenty of scoring prowess.
Flaws
  • Doesn't always keep his intensity level on high. Could still use more bulk on his 6-1 frame. Should take more shots so as to keep defenders honest, but doesn't.
Career Potential
  • Inconsistent skilled winger.
