Scouting Report

Assets
  • Works extremely hard and is defensively aware. Shows strong leadership qualities, the ability to work the corners of the ice and lay on big hits.
Flaws
  • Tends to pass up too many shots in order to dish off to linemates. Could use more bulk to withstand the rigors of the NHL game. Isn't a natural scorer.
Career Potential
  • Solid two-way winger.
