Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has decent two-way instincts. Works very hard to improve all facets of his game. Can play a sound crash-and-bang game at either wing or center.
Flaws
  • Needs to prove capable of keeping up with the pace of the NHL over the long haul. Lacks the offensive ability and overall skills to be more than a role player. Is a limited point producer.
Career Potential
  • Energy forward.
