Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has decent size, great speed and an accurate shot. Can line up on either side of center and displays brief flashes of offensive brilliance.
Flaws
  • His offense tends to run hot and cold and lacks the consistency of a legitimate top-six winger. Doesn't shoot the puck enough to make an impact.
Career Potential
  • Versatile two-way winger.
