Scouting Report
Owned good hands and an accurate shot. Worked hard every shift to overcome his lack of size. His offensive instincts and production level at lower levels were first-rate. Was small compared to most NHL players. Could struggle without the puck and in the defensive zone. Had a hard time winning battles in the corners at the highest level.
Long Range Potential: Diminutive, depth winger.
