Scouting Report

Assets
  • Racks up points as well as anyone in the league. 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 is denied the puck more often along the wall. Doesn't use his size enough.
Career Potential
  • Franchise forward.
