Scouting Report

Assets
  • Plays with loads of feistiness and energy. Shows excellent offensive and two-way ability. Has excellent speed and acceleration. Possesses nifty skills and instincts around an opposing net, and will even take a pounding in front.
Flaws
  • Does battle inconsistency in terms of production. Over time he can also wear down with overuse, mainly because of his smallish stature. When he plays too much, he tends to start making mental mistakes.
Career Potential
  • Diminutive but savvy scoring winger.
