Scouting Report
Displayed excellent anticipation, sound positioning and the ability to get into open areas to score goals. Owned a lethal shot from the slot area, with good hands and a goal-scorer's mentality. Did not always make good use of his linemates. Was woefully inconsistent in all areas of the game. Was just an average skater and was not a very physical winger, either.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent goal-scoring winger.
