Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has the ability to keep the puck on a string and sift through defenders. Plays an all-around game. Is a monster talent that can play any forward position.
Flaws
  • Struggles badly on face-offs. Isn't as dominant when he plays either wing position, since he needs to have the puck a lot. Doesn't use his size enough.
Career Potential
  • Franchise center.
