Scouting Report

Assets
  • Possesses tremendous reach, excellent vision and creativity, as well as a deadly shot. Skates very well for a 6-4 center. Has good hand/eye coordination and a winning attitude. Is surprisingly combative and somewhat physical.
Flaws
  • Can go into scoring funks from time to time. Is in offensive decline. Will occasionally drop the gloves, which penalizes his team more because he's needed on the ice.
Career Potential
  • Quality scoring center with size.
