Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has improved in the NHL since moving to right wing, where he can use his speed to blow past defenders and release his deceptive shot from anywhere.
Flaws
  • Gets rattled in physical contests. Still needs work in his own zone and must play a more consistent offensive game.
Career Potential
  • Top six forward.
