Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has tremendous quickness and two-way aplomb. Can be used in virtually any game situation. Is at his best going north-south and when killing penalties. Can play any forward position if need be.
Flaws
  • Has to always display consistency in all aspects of the game, something he struggles with. Needs to win more battles along the wall in order to allow his offensive tools to yield better results.
Career Potential
  • Inconsistent two-way winger.
