Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has outstanding goal-scoring instincts and a huge frame, which he uses to keep puck control. Also skates amazingly well for his size. Can dominate a game with his athletic ability.
Flaws
  • Is still a little lacking in his play without the puck. Doesn't have natural playmaking tendencies, which makes it easier for defenses to bear down on him.
Career Potential
  • Franchise winger.
