Scouting Report

Assets
  • Possesses uncanny vision and creativity. Skates very well for a 6-4 center. Has excellent hand/eye coordination and a goal-scorer's touch.
Flaws
  • Will occasionally take matters into his own hands and drop the gloves, which penalizes his team more because he's needed on the ice.
Career Potential
  • Franchise center.
