Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has sound playmaking instincts and two-way upside. Can play either center or wing with equal effectiveness. Is a very cerebral player in all three zones.
Flaws
  • Lacks ideal NHL size, so he must prove he can withstand the constant pounding of the game at the highest level. Isn't a natural goal-scorer.
Career Potential
  • Two-way forward.
