Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has the speed, shiftiness and shot to score a lot of goals in the NHL. Sticks his nose in the corners and uses his strong lower body to win many battles.
Flaws
  • Isn't a good passer and could use more work in the defensive zone. Tends to go into prolonged scoring slumps.
Career Potential
  • Top six winger.
