Scouting Report

Assets
  • Gets by on hard work and dogged determination. Excels at throwing opponents off their game with shift-disturbing precision. Can kill penalties, take face-offs, play a scoring role and line up at all three forward positions.
Flaws
  • Can go overboard with his antics and questionable hits, which leads to bad penalties from time to time. Doesn't have great size, so he wears down physically over the long haul because of his kamikaze style of play.
Career Potential
  • Elite agitating forward.
